[flexcoders] code going into a black whole

[Aaron Miller]

Hello, I have some strange behavior I'm trying to figure out. It seems like
my code just stops working in mid-loop without giving any errors.

==================
public function set pageModel( value:PageModel ): void {
trace('PageCanvas.pageModel = '+value);
if( _pageModel != value ) {
_pageModel = value;
 this.width = _pageModel.width;
this.height = _pageModel.height;
 this.removeAllChildren();
 for each( var elementModel:IPageElementModel in _pageModel.elements ) {
trace('This happens!');
var newElement:IElementControl =
_docManager.getNewElementInstance(elementModel);

trace('But this does not!');
 this.addChild( DisplayObject(newElement) );
}
 trace('End of the line.');
}
}
==================

trace output:
==================
PageCanvas.pageModel = [object PageModel]
This happens!
DocManager.getNewElementInstance
==================

So it seams that everything stops after the call to getNewElementInstance.

Is it because I'm doing all this stuff in a setter? If this is the case,
what would be the appropriate way to recreate all the children when the
underlying data model changes?


Thanks for any input!
