Actually, there was another component in my program doing essentially the same thing (i.e. allowing users to go up and down from year to month) and not having the problem. I realized that for that component I was only loading the xml once. In this one that I was recently having problems with, was grabbing the entire years xml every time they changed month. I rewrote it to only load at startup and the problem disappeared. Do you know of any tutorials or code samples for usint the progress bar? I was using show busy but the show busy clock was showing longer than just waiting for the xml to load. Is there a way to shut the busy cursor off or put a timer on it? brad

Add a listener for the result event from the data provider routine, and take the model popup down when you finish processing the result from your data provider. ~randy _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Bueche Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 8:20 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Prohibiting Old Chart from Displaying while new Chart renders Well really I think the problem could be solved (1 way anyway) by just telling it not to move to the next view (viewstack) until my initDataDrovider function finishes. Is there a way to do this? I'm not used to things operating in parallel. I need the program to wait until the dataprovider function returns. brad -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sherif Abdou Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 6:00 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Prohibiting Old Chart from Displaying while new Chart renders can you do some sort of mockup file, you can always try to call any of the validation methods and see if that works ----- Original Message ---- From: Brad Bueche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 3:12:13 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Prohibiting Old Chart from Displaying while new Chart renders I have a chart that, at year level, allows users to drill down into individual months. The problem is that if the user drills down into march, then comes back up to the year level (via viewstack bread-crumb trail button), and then drills down into October, for a spilt second the march data will still be on the screen. I have been knocking my head against the wall all day (on a weekend!) trying to prohibit the old data from continuing to show until the new data is rendered but I cant get anything to work.
