Do you have a 'name' property in your data provider objects?

I've used repeaters before so I definitely know how they work as a whole. I've never had the issue I'm about to describe and I've been fruitless in my search efforts. I have built a custom-component (sort-of a menu) that uses a repeater to list out the menu items. In the mxml I've set its dataProvider to (hypothetically) this.parentDocument.myArray (also tried parentApplication out of desperation which didn't help at all). When i place items into that array I can do myComponent.myRepeater.executeBindings and the new items show up just fine. The problem comes when I want to completely clear the list, remove an element of it, or set the list to something else (myArray = myOtherArray). Whenever I do any of these and then attempt to execute bindings, i get a huge error message...which follows: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter name must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObject/set name() at MethodInfo-2196() at MethodInfo-1590() at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply <http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply> () at mx.binding::Binding/mx.binding:Binding::wrapFunctionCall() at mx.binding::RepeatableBinding/::recursivelyProcessIDArray() at mx.binding::RepeatableBinding/::recursivelyProcessIDArray() at mx.binding::RepeatableBinding/execute() at mx.binding::Binding/watcherFired() at mx.binding::Watcher/notifyListeners() at mx.binding::PropertyWatcher/eventHandler() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEven tFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::Repeater/set dataProvider() at MethodInfo-2194() at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::call <http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::call> () at mx.binding::Binding/::innerExecute() at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply <http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply> () at mx.binding::Binding/mx.binding:Binding::wrapFunctionCall() at mx.binding::Binding/execute() at mx.binding::BindingManager$/executeBindings() at mx.core::UIComponent/executeBindings() at index/appClosed() at pages/__launchCloseButton_click() For clarity, ALL I'm doing is running executeBindings() and this happens. I've verified over and over that the data in my dataProvider array is clean and correct. The only difference between this repeater and ones I've done in the past is that this repeater is part of a custom component instead of part of my main mxml program. I can't imagine why this would be creating any issues, but whether or not it's related to that, I'd be VERY appreciative of any help that you all could give. I've been working on this on and off for four days now and I can't seem to get anywhere with it. Thanks, RV
