John, no solution for your scenario - just a designer who hacks my
way through. Question: Why would you want to create and destroy vs
just building once for all menus per user session and toggle
visibility of the desired tier. Historically visibility should also
manage the hit state of the object. For me, from my limited and dated
perspective, the building and destroying and infinitely looping class
sounds cumbersome, load heavy and possibly unnecessary. I am likely
way off base, but would like to know the reasoning and advantages of
the approach as i am re-learning Flash and trying to get current - so
go easy on me please ;) Does your data change during the session or
scale dramatically?

Hi;
I have a class "menu" that calls another class "submenu" to
instantiate a submenu of items when a menu item is rolled over. This
process loops for as many sublevels exist. The problem comes when I
want to destroy them. For example, if someone is at the first item
of the second level and out pops the third level, then the user
rolls out of the second level back to the first. In this case, the
third level should be destroyed. The problem is that I have no way
to communicate to my infinitely looping class that we've regressed a
level. The same problem occurs when the user is at the second level
on the first item and scrolls to the second. At the first item, a
third level of items will pop out (assuming such exist) but they
won't be destroyed when the user scrolls to the second item of the
second level because I have no way to communicate with my infinitely
looping script what transpired. I need a way to add these levels as
children of a class that somehow
gets called every time the infinitely looping class gets called yet
doesn't "start from a fresh slate" each time so that I can keep
track of all the levels and their associated children being added to
the stage. I hope that was clear :-}
TIA,
John
