But Alex's later reply had a better solution using the capture phase that doesn't require adding as many listeners. > when a parent container is hidden how does it hide the children When you set the 'visible' property of a DisplayObjectContainer to false, the Flash Player doesn't render that container or any of its descendants. - Gordon ------------------------------ *From:* [email protected] [mailto:flexcompone [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *dorkie dork from dorktown *Sent:* Tuesday, March 06, 2007 9:59 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [flexcomponents]Event that tells me when parent is hidden or shown ok. thanks gordon. so i just iterated up the chain adding event listeners i should be ok. adding event listeners does not add overhead does it? its the functions that get called that can add overhead right? one more additional question. when a parent container is hidden how does it hide the children? i thought it removed them through removeChild but no event is dispatched. in fact no hide, remove, removed or removeFromStage event is triggered when a parent container is hidden.
