I use viewStack.removeAllChildren();
also, what I do with the NavigatorContent, is everytime I create a new
NavigatorContent container I load the resulting child UI component object into
an arrayCollection then when I need to get to the object inside the
NavigatorContent I use the viewStack.selectedIndex as an index to the
ArrayCollection to manipulate the object, or generate a popup, etc...
public function setNavContent(navLabel:String, newView:*):void {
var itemNav:NavigatorContent = new NavigatorContent();
itemNav.label = navLabel;
itemNav.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,
circleD.editForms);
itemNav.doubleClickEnabled = true;
itemNav.minHeight = 300;
itemNav.minWidth = 400;
itemNav.addElement(newView);
circleD.peViewStack.addChild(itemNav);
}
Where navLabel is a tab string and newView is a UI component usually a
composite component
If you need a whitewashed code example let me know.
