I believe that is the issue...after sending the email I realized that I am not waiting for the creationComplete event to be dispatched on each child before attempting to use the child.
Thanks for the response.

The LayoutManager runs asynchronously. When createChild() returns, the new child won't exist, but its commitProperties(), measure(), and updateDisplayList() methods won't have been called yet. By the time the new child dispatches its creationComplete event, they should all have been called. Other than this timing issue, how is createChild() failing? - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Dickey Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Destroying/Re-creating Objects Sanity Check needed :) I have a scenario where I need to destroy and recreate all child objects of a view stack. I'm first using the viewStack.destroyAllChildren() (or viewStack.destroyChildAt(index)) which destroy the child objects as expected, but when I attempt to re-create using the viewStack.createChild() I run into some unexpected results. It appears from debugging, etc. that the new child objects appear ok structurally but the layout and some of the initialization has not been completed. The creation policy of the view stack and child objects are not explicitly stated so the default is being used. So am I doing this correctly? Is there another / better way to destroy/recreate child objects dynamically? Thanks for any info.
