RE: [flexcoders] Switching View States - Destroying Resources

[Matt Chotin]

Can you please file this as an enhancement at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish?   An engineer said that you should be able to get close by setting the target to null and the instanceCreated property (which is mx_internal) to false when you’re leaving the state.  I haven’t experimented, not quite sure what needs to be done actually J   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Spitzer Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 1:29 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Switching View States - Destroying Resources   Hey Daniel, I posted about this a while back. See my post "States - add/remove vs create/destroy". I didn't hear a peep from anyone. I'm not sure if it's something that is natively supported by the framework. I don't think so, but I could be wrong. The closest thing I found was the creationPolicy property. Setting that to NONE will get you about an eighth of the way there. I started to write TransientAddChild and TransientRemoveChild classes that extend their mx counterparts, AddChild and RemoveChild but I aborted mission halfway through and chose not to deal with it at this point -- for better or worse. I definitely still think it is a valid concern and would like to eventually have a solution. best, Paul Daniel Wabyick wrote: > Is there some way to have objects that were added using <mx:AddChild /> > completely destroyed instead of just removed from the DisplayList? > > > The reason for this is that my added panels are bound into a data model > and may end up performing computationally expensive tasks when they > aren't visible.
