Hi Matt,

Sounds like there's a problem with flex updating the screen before the
children are swapped properly.

Try validating the component after the call to swap the children, and
catching any exception thrown.

try {
container.swapChildrenAt(ind,1);
container.validateNow();
}
catch (err:Error())
{

}

Does that make any difference?

Best Regards,
Ciarán
