Yes, it indeed removes all items from the TileList (same like the other approaches mentioned by Clint) but if I try after this to populate the TileList with new items I get the exception. So what can I do to load new items into a TileList that had items before but was cleared? Thanks for any

Hey Sascha, Try to compile and use my example. Just create a new Flex Project. Maybe you ran into a debug error. Please be sure that all your debug sessions have stopped in the debugger by pressing the red square button. Sometimes I have to restart my Builder in order to get rid of those

Thanks for the example Bram but it doesn't help me in this case. My implementation is a bit more involved so let me explain the details . My custom TileList extends TileList and is fully written in AS. The application I'm working on has a menu like the ones that many applications have. It has a

Odd... did you try setting the dataprovider to a new object instead of setting it too null? You could also try: yourTileListID.dataProvider.removeAll(); On 1/6/07, Sascha [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Clint, but all of them result in the same exception. Any other ideas?
