RE: [flexcoders] MX:AddChild error

[Ian Skinner]

Actually it was an error of using target when I should have been using relativeTo. I was working off of some outdated documentation examples.     -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 |   | ---------  Binary Soduko |   |   | --------- "C code.

This error means the component you are trying to add is already a child component of some container. In your example I’m sure VBox is already a child of application or any other component. You first need to remove that child from the existing parent and then add to a new parent.   If the VBox id is V1 and Panel’s id is P1 then you should write   <mx:RemoveChild target=”{V1}”/> <mx:AddChild target=”{V1}” relativeTo=”{P1}”/>     -Ashish     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ian Skinner Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 3:43 PM To: flex@houseoffusion.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] MX:AddChild error   Error: Cannot add a child that is already parented. at mx.states::AddChild/apply() at mx.core::UIComponent/::applyState() at mx.core::UIComponent/::commitCurrentState() at mx.core::UIComponent/setCurrentState() at mx.core::UIComponent/set currentState() at MobileCalendar/__button1_click() What does this mean? I am trying to add a VBox to a Panel in my application. When I click on the button to add this VBox, I get this error. But I do not understand what it is trying to tell me. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
