parentApplication.closing.mainBox.addChild(newCanvas).
After that you could do newCanvas.addChild(...)
Etc without doing the parentApplication stuff.
It's hard to tell what other problems you might be having without seeing
what errors are coming out.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Adding a child to a vbox
I think the issue, is when I try to add a child to a previously
created child. Here is the test code that I have.
for ( var i:Number=0;i<result.length;i++){
// CREATE CANVAS //
var newCanvas:Canvas =
new Canvas();
newCanvas.percentWidth = 100;
newCanvas.id =
"canvas" + i;
var canvasId =
newCanvas.id;
parentApplication.closing.mainBox.addChild(newCanvas);
var newLabel:Label = new
Label();
newLabel.text =
canvasId;
parentApplication.closing.mainBox.canvasId.addChild(newLabel);
}
