Tom and Tracy both have good suggestions. However, I'd recommend using any of the List based controls, with an itemRenderer, instead of using a repeater. Unlike the Repeater component, which instantiates all objects that are repeated (no recycling), the List based controls instantiate only objects visible in the list.
"I dont know where I am missing it, but I am only able to remove the lines from the bottom of the stack" Your problem is with this line: myAcc.removeChild(vBoxes.pop());. Here you are using the array method "pop"; which always removes the last element in an array. While the removeChild method works here, since the value of the removed array element is returned from pop, this is kind of a backwards way of controlling the displayList. There may be some confusion here about collections (data) and the display list (components). While you can certainly create an array and/or arrayCollection of components, it's much easier to create and maintain a List based control; with an arrayCollection of data bound as the dataProvider. Then, as Tom indicated, use the built-in ArrayCollection methods to add/remove the data; and the display automatically adjusts. All that you have to do is something like: myACC.removeItemAt(myList.selectedIndex) ; -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, unless you have some special needs, using Repeater for your dynamic > instantiation will save you a lot of work.
