1st of all, the view source doesn’t work for me, I got returned to the same page .

If you still care about the whiteBox, you can either set its alpha to 0, or remove it from the rawChildren list.

addEventListener(Event.ADDED, whiteBoxCheck);
private function whiteBoxCheck(event:Event):void {
if (event.target.name == “whiteBox”) {
FlexShape(event.target).alpha = 0;
}
}

Or, you can:

private function removeWhiteBox(): void {
var wb: DisplayObject = rawChildren.getChildByName(“whiteBox”);
if (wb) {
wb.alpha = 0;
}
}

override public function validateDisplayList(): void {
super.validateDisplayList();
removeWhiteBox();
}
