A co-worker of mine ran into a problem the other day in which he needed to remove a component from it’s parent container and relocate the component to a new container. This type of functionality is pretty common in flex applications so I decided to write a simple utility class to handle relocating display objects from one container to another.

The DisplayObjectContainerManager is a singleton pattern implementation in which there is a single instance created which handles display object relocation from within the display list. DisplayObjectContainerManager allows a component to easily be removed from it’s parent container and relocated to a seperate container while retaining it’s current state.

You can view a basic usage example here or view the ASDoc for the DisplayObjectContainerManager here.
