I may be wrong, but I have a guess here. First, you should not need your calls to removeChild. If you take an item that is currently in the display list, and use addChild to put it somewhere else in the display list, flex will automatically switch its parent from the old one to the new one.
My guess is that this is what is happening: "subcomponent. addChild( imageViewer) ;" is doing what you wanted to, but "app.removeChild( imageViewer) ;" is then removing the imageViewer from the display list so that it disappears. Try just removing the calls to removeChild.

Did you do the following (using my example): //Go to full screen app.addChild( imageViewer) ; subcomponent. removeChild( imageViewer) ; //Go to normal screen subcomponent. addChild( imageViewer) ; app.removeChild( imageViewer) ; The problem I am having is putting the imageViewer back into the subcomponent. It does not reappear in the subcomponent. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, "Brian Deitte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > I did this recently, and it didn't cause havoc.
