i ended up re-doing the child adding bits to name similar child
objects w/the same name (no sure if this will come back to bite me
later but it seems to work now). then when i need to remove specific
stuff:
while(mapImage.getChildByName(what)) {
mapImage.removeChild(mapImage.getChildByName(what));
}
where "what" is the name of the group of child objects i want to
remove or when i need purge the whole map image before i load a new
source:
for (var i:int=mapImage.numChildren-1; i >= 0; i--) {
// remove all but the map image
if(mapImage.getChildAt(i).name.indexOf("FlexLoader") ==-1)
mapImage.removeChildAt(i);
}
i guess this will do for now.
