I want to thank everyone who threw a comment at me for my previous question about handling large XML datasets. I think I'm going to follow the suggestion of splitting up the XML into smaller files and then reading the data in based on the user search criteria.
One of the things that I'll need to happen, though if I go that route is to purge the results currently on the screen. I've been playing around with the FlexStore example trying to do this. I implmented the search bar so that I can type in the phone name and it will display the selected phone. I've also modified the code to only load the selected phone after the search button is click (so it reads and caches the XML data, but doesn't display anything on the screen). If I type in another query, though, the new thumbnail just appears on top of the previous thumbnail. How do I re-initialize the catalogPanel so that it blanks the panel before displaying the results of the new search? I've tried using the removeAllChildren to make sure there is nothing on the catalogPanel followed by a addchild(products), but I end up with pretty much the same result. I would think that executing a removeAllChildren as part of a button click event would ensure that everytime the button is clicked, the panel is blanked. What am I doing wrong???
