Deleted graphics still in Application Browser

Post by Newbie4 » Tue Sep 18, 2012 2:24 am

I programmatically create a number (x) of graphic objects in a repeat loop with

Code: Select all

 create graphic ("obj_" & x)
Later I delete them with

Code: Select all

delete graphic ("obj_" &  x)
They go do get deleted but when I look in the Application Browser - They are all still there (each in it's own layer).

I do not understand. Should that be? Are they still there? Will that cause problems?

Is there a way to get rid of them there?

Thank you if anyone can shed some light on this and explain

Most likely the application browser has just not updated. THere is a tiny refresh button near the bottom that you can use to force a refresh.

Thanks!!! I would never have noticed that or have known what it was for.

Once I deploy my app and people are creating/deleting objects, will that cause any problems? It would not seem so, but I will ask anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Nope, shouldn't be a problem. No app browser included with the deployment so its a non-issue.
