There is another way of doing it as well, FYI, that doesn't use the
delegate class. You can take advantage of the fact that handler
functions can see local variables and use a local variable to make
reference to the class. The line:
var parent = this;
(or fully typed, var
Use removeColumnAt() and addColumn()/addColumnAt()
var dataArray:Array = new Array();
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
dataArray.push({foo:1, bar:2, baz:3});
The line in the constructor:
this._size = 2;
is calling the setter. Maybe you meant to call this.__size = 2;
Setters will trigger regardless of whether the property is set by
code within the class itself or from external code.

You make it sound like I'm forcing it to work. I'm not forcing it, it
works as a nice byproduct of how I normally setup and group my movie

grouped together share a parent movie clip, making control of the

Then I create a placeholder movie clip in the order I intend for it

No, you will have problems with that implementation. You can't just
add loadedBytes to your total. Say you are loading just one movie
clip, you start off with zero, then 10 bytes come in, so loadedWeight
is now 10. Next, 10 more come in so loadedBytes reports 20, which is
added to your

Not that I know of. If the first frame was representative of the size
as a whole, then iterating through the movie clips looking for clips
with negative x/y values could be done, however it's sort of a moot

To answer your question a bit more, there are a couple of approaches.
One approach is to build in the filtering server-side, so that when
you need a subset of the data for something, you send a request to
the server, which does the filtering and only sends what is relevant
as XML. This is

Well, regardless of whether or not you use listeners, you still need
to create the data relationship. I don't think encoding the
relationships into 25 listeners is necessarily a good idea, either.
An associative array, indexed by ID, could store the IDs of the other
list items that are

A few points: First, you are not actually setting the amMessage and

they share the same variable name; they don't copy any data. Second,
