ok this worked.... But the DataCard Clip has a CloseButton so
In the DataCard Class:
this.CloseButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, close);
public function close(e:MouseEvent) {
removeChild(this);
}
but it is throwing an error message.
I know this could be a silly question, I have not been into AS3 for a long
time. :)
Thanks for your effort !
