Hi guys, All your answers put me in the right direction, thanks a bunch for that. After some deep digging i found 2 things needed to delete the instance of my dataGrid (for real).
1. locking the root of the container movieClip. 2. swapping depths of the dynamically added (container) movieclip before purging it. But, that puts me back to the question of using destroyObject() vs. delete(). Can anyone shed some light on the difference between them? Both seems to be doing the same thing memorywise. Thanks again for good info as always. /Micke -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com]för Karl DeSaulniers Skickat: den 5 oktober 2009 01:07 Till: Flash Coders List Ämne: Re: [Flashcoders] Component (dataGrid) issues flash 8 destroyObjectvs removeMovieClip Possibly, but I have not worked with data grids. But deleting it completely will clear it so when you load it again it will probably let the scroll bar get the correct height. I'm thinking.
