Have a small question...
Is it possible to delete multiple cloned objects?

Jan

Jan,
'Yes'. That subject has been covered a few different ways in other Posts. Since you only asked a general question and have not posed a specific situation, I suggest you Search for 'topics' in the forum here.

Try:
array clones

or:
destroy clone

>>> I think the key or the trick is to learn how to keep track of clones -- either by naming them as they are created, or by storing them in an array when they are created. Posts discuss that.

Example of using arrays.

Just add your clones to the elements and loop through to delete them.

Thank you both...
I was just looking for the wrong 'word' as I searched for delete instead of destroy
I have used Arrays now and it works very well.

* Create cloned objects *
var myClone = new Array();
while (n < 10)
{
myClone[n] = ABC.CloneObject(Xpos,Ypos);
n++;
}

* Delete cloned objects *
for (n=0;n<10;n++)
{
myClone[n].DestroyClonedObject();
}

This may or may not be of any use, but I found it a less problematic to hide rather than destroy clones. It depends what you are doing with them.

Hi Dan,

I have a small map of Holland in my publication which shows the location of WW-II Allied Aircraft Crashes in The Netherlands. The dots on the map are drawn once you have queried a database, so the dots on the map can change completely when you request new data (for example when you change the type of aircraft, base or squadron)... Therefor I delete (destroy) the clones and not just hide them...

Hi Jan
I realised you didn't want the clones. I was using a lot of scripts that ran through arrays for about 30 settings on each clone. It was just easier to hide the clones when they were finished with rather than designing the scripts to take account of missing elements in each array.
Anyway, if the problem is solved then it's not a problem.
Cheers
