I don't have time to dig into your code right now, but hopefully others will.
Keep in mind that the event model supports a capture phase. Listening to show/hide on the viewstack at the capture phase will let you see visible changes in all children of the viewstack. -Alex ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dustyjewett Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcomponents] Re: Determining whether parent is visible/invisible I uploaded the file to: http://dustyjewett.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/drawerdemo.zip <http://dustyjewett.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/drawerdemo.zip> The original code is good, but my additions are pretty messy, I apologize...
