I have a custom componenent which is an extension of VBox. In it I had defined
a RemovedEffect since the user can add and remove these
components to the interface. The problem I had with this is that this effect
caused the program to lock up after I had added and then removed
all components via this method:
<!-- axisInfoArea is a standard VBox component -->
public function removeAllAxes():void {
for (var
k:int=axisInfoArea.getChildren().length-1; k>0; k--) {
axisInfoArea.removeChildAt(k);
}
}
It seems like after I remove them all, then when the Removed Effect gets
called, it tries to apply the effect on components which are no longer
there and causes the following error.
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.

So when I remove the RemovedEffect from my component, the code works fine, but
when it's there, the program freezes up. Is this a known
bug or is there someway around it?
