Destroy children in scroll list
Hi, I have a leaderboard using a scroll list for high scores and also a scroll list for invitable friends. This is the layout in the scene.
ListInvite and ListLeaderBoard are the scroll list containers.
Once the Leaderboard and Inviteboard are displayed I use this code to destroy the children that have been created from listItemPrefab and listItemLeaderBoard.
foreach (Transform child in listLeaderboardContainer.transform) {
GameObject.Destroy (child.gameObject);
}
foreach (Transform child in listInviteContainer.transform) {
GameObject.Destroy (child.gameObject);
}
But the next time I display the Leaderboard I get this error:
MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Image' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
I should also add that when the leaderboard is created it uses this method to create each item.
//Method to add item to the custom invitable dynamically scrollable list
void CreateListItemInvite (string id, string fName, string url = "")
{
ListItemInvite tempItem = Instantiate (itemInvitePref) as ListItemInvite;
tempItem.fId = id;
tempItem.picUrl = url;
tempItem.txtName.text = fName;
tempItem.transform.SetParent (listInviteContainer.transform, false);
listInvites.Add (tempItem);
}
//Method to all items to the leaderboard dynamically scrollable list
void CreateListItemLeaderboard (string id, string fName, string fScore = "")
{
ListItemLeaderboard tempItem = Instantiate (itemLeaderPref) as ListItemLeaderboard;
tempItem.fId = id;
tempItem.txtName.text = fName;
tempItem.txtScore.text = fScore;
tempItem.transform.SetParent (listLeaderboardContainer.transform, false);
listLeaderboard.Add (tempItem);
}
So I do not understand why I get the error as the items including the reference to an image are created by prefab before Display.
Maybe another set of eyes can figure out what I am doing wrong here.
