I have a timeline with six bands, and I draw a PointHighlightDecorator
across all of the bands at the current time at startup. What I would
like to do is have this decorator move along with the current time.

I have set up a timer that fires every second, and then a new
PointHighlightDecorator gets drawn on the timeline. The problem is
that I cannot remove the old one. Here is my code so far (that doesn't
work):

<code>
        for ( var i=0; i < tl._bands.length; i++ )
        {
                //var numdecorators = tl._bands[i]._decorators.length;
                tl._bands[i]._decorators[0] = null; // memory leak?? Want to 
erase
the old one.

                var newdecorator = new Timeline.PointHighlightDecorator({
                                date:       
Timeline.DateTime.parseGregorianDateTime(date = new
Date()),
                                color:      "#993300",
                                opacity:    50
                        });

                tl._bands[i]._decorators[0] = newdecorator;
                newdecorator.initialize(tl._bands[i], tl);


        }

        tl.layout();
</code>

I do not know how to safely remove decorators from a band. Nulling
them out does not remove them from the timeline once they've been
drawn.

Thanks for any inputs!
