Didn't know we'd gotten around to fixing that.
Anyway, I ran the app and don't see any strange behavior. addChild is a 'move' and not a 'copy' as the button label implies. The best way to make a copy is to put the whole <VBox> sequence in its own MXML file and add a new instance of it. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of reflexactions Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 9:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Strange Behaviour Hmm, Well in general I have always assumed it wasnt necessary to do that becuase the Container addChildAt method specifically calls removeChild on the old container for you: override public function addChildAt (child:DisplayObject, index:int):DisplayObject { var formerParent:DisplayObjectContainer = child.parent; if (formerParent && !(formerParent is Loader)) formerParent.removeChild(child); What extra does calling removeChild in you own code first do then? tks --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Flex prefers that you call removeChild on the old container before > calling addChild on the new container. > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of Parjan Arjan > Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 6:37 AM > To: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Strange Behaviour > > > > I HAVE TWO PANEL AND ONE BUTTON IN AN APPLIACTION ONE PANEL CONTAINS > VBOX WHICH CONTAINS A DATAGRID > > SECOND PANEL IS EMPTY > > > > I WANT TO PLACE VBOX OF PANEL ONE TO BE COPIED IN PANEL TWO BUT I > OBSEVE A STRANGE BEHAVIOUR ITS IS REMOVED FROM PANEL ONE CAN U TELL ME > WHY HERE IS MY CODE. > > > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> > <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> > "> > > <mx:Panel id="PANEL1" title="Panel One"> > <mx:VBox id="vbx"> > <mx:DataGrid > > <mx:ArrayCollection> > <mx:Object> > <mx:Artist>Pavement</mx:Artist> > <mx:Price>11.99</mx:Price> > <mx:Album>Slanted and Enchanted</mx:Album> > </mx:Object> > </mx:ArrayCollection> > </mx:DataGrid> > </mx:VBox> > > </mx:Panel> > > <mx:Panel id="PANEL2" title="Panel Two"> > </mx:Panel> > > <mx:Button label="Copy VBOX" click=" {PANEL2.addChild( vbx ) } "/> > > </mx:Application> > > > > ________________________________ > > Never miss a thing.
