RE: [flexcoders] Replace an on screen component.
Hi Grant. The answer is yes, and yes.

Hi guys, We have a chart displayed on a dashboard amongst other components, when a user selects a different chart we need to remove the chart and display a different one, I was going to use view states but we have lots of different charts and it seems that the charts not in the current view are still alive and respond to events they are subscribed for, is this correct ? In flash i'd remove the movie clip and load a new one, can I remove the component and load another one within my dashboard ? Grant
RE: [flexcoders] Replace an on screen component.
In your method that handles the adding and removing of the charts, instead of changing the state or changing the visibility of the chart, you can completely remove it using chartParent.removeChild(chartInstance); Then you can add your new one using chartParent.addChild(newChartInstance). chartParent could just be this depending on where you are adding and removing it in the component structure. Unless you pre-load the charts in memory there will be an instantiation hit when you add the component on the fly depending on how complex your chart is. Best to use a preloading image or something.
