Hi,
We have developed large applications like CRM typically having
several tabs.
We allow the user to travere a list of names in a tree and on his
choice we add tabs to the tab navigator. These tabs can be closed by
the user using a close button on the tab.
Issue: As the user opens new tabs
Are you talking about inside Flex Builder or inside the browser?
For the browser, use the pageTitle property in your mx:Application.
If you're talking Flex Builder/Eclipse IDE, I'm not aware of any way to
customize Eclipse to
something other than the selected tab filename.

The collections are independent.
When my app starts up I have an XML variable that gets split into 2
seperate lists.
So for example:
var myList:XML
I then split the lists into 2 like so:
for each(var x:XML in myList){
if(x.Status == UnApproved)
unApproved.addItem(x.copy());
It looks like setting opaqueBackground on a Label used as an
itemRenderer causes the item text to be cut off when the item is
mid-scroll (at the end of the grid). This does not happen when
opaqueBackground is not set.
Small example:
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={[ foo, bar, baz, quux ]} height=90
See my presentation on memory management and garbage collection on my blog.
GC normally does not run on removal/deallocation. It only runs on new
allocations.
