Douglas, Thanks... So as a rule of thumb, add all children that I know I need up front and show/ hide them using visibility in e.g. onMouseOver/ Out.
Or set a dirty flag and then invalidateDisplayList(), then from within updateDisplayList(), check the dirty flags and addChild( x ) in there... cool. thanks! p.s. yeah I like it :) On 6 September 2011 20:35, Douglas Knudsen <douglasknud...@gmail.com> wrote: > ** > > > ze MX way, yes.
