Set tabindex for each of them. Then I setup a listener for the mouse Down event. In the listener I am removing the textfields (with removeChild) and delete all references to the text fields. The text fields are not picked up by garbage collector.<br /><br />If I comment out the line that sets the tabIndex, as soon as I remove the text field and I run the garbage collector from the Flex Profiller, teh text fields are removed from memory. <br /><br />Is it only me that has this problem? I have the latest version of everything. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Tony Tonyyyys2 0 0 2008-07-21T14:30:42 http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/InteractiveObject.html#82375 in refense to the previous post I believe to fix it, the ROLL_OUT event should be listened for by bar.<br /><br />class Foo extends MovieClip<br />{<br />// bar is a movie that is not my child, but occupies the same area as me on the stage<br />private bar:MovieClip;<br /><br />public function Foo() <br />{<br />bar.visible = false;<br />addEventListener(Mouse.MOUSE_OVER, over);<br />}<br /><br />public function over(evt:MouseEvent):void<br />{<br />bar.visible = true;<br />bar.addEventListener(Mouse.MOUSE_OUT, out);<br />}<br /><br />public function out(evt:MouseEvent):void<br />{<br />bar.visible = false;<br />bar.removeEventListener(Mouse.MOUSE_OUT, out);<br />}<br />}<br /><br />hope this helps someone 0 0 2008-03-27T08:09:42 http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/InteractiveObject.html#73632 If the mouse is over a movie, and another movie that is not a child of the movie is added/made visible in the same place the mouse is, the mouse will generate a mouse_out/roll_out event, even though the mouse is still over the original movie. This is not the same behavior as AS2. For example:<br /><br />class Foo extends MovieClip<br />{<br /> // bar is a movie that is not my child, but occupies the same area as me on the stage<br /> private bar:MovieClip;<br /><br /> public function Foo() <br /> {<br /> bar.visible = false;<br /> addEventListener(Mouse.MOUSE_OVER, over);<br /> addEventListener(Mouse.MOUSE_OUT, out);<br /> }<br /><br /> public function over(evt:MouseEvent):void<br /> {<br /> bar.visible = true;<br /> }<br /><br /> public function out(evt:MouseEvent):void<br /> {<br /> bar.visible = false;<br /> }<br />}<br /><br />This will cause bar to flicker on and off when the user moves the mouse over Foo, instead of showing bar when the mouse is over Foo and hiding it when the mouse is moved off of Foo. 0 0 2007-09-13T13:23:18 http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/InteractiveObject.html#67934 onReleaseOutside is replaced in the new event model by a mouseUp event.<br>http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/migration.html tderich 1 1 2007-06-05T10:13:06 http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/InteractiveObject.html#67732 Why did they remove releaseOutside? I found it very useful for dragging operations.
