recordset output best practice

[NorthStarDA]

what is the best way to output resultsets in flash? i am a coldfusion developer getting into flash development specifically with flash remoting and actionscript 2.0. i am familiar with the list and datagrid components but they do not seem to offer what I am trying to do, i want to output records as i would in CF by iterating over the object and displaying the records with whatever formatting/rollovers i specify, maybe underlined with a graphic on the left or something like that. i've been googling for a few hours and am no closer.

you will have to output results into a text area component to get all of the above

this is the method i'm using to output query results from flash remoting, works great except i cannot get rid of the clips made with duplicateMovieClip, i have this code on a keyframe and the list shows up on other keyframes where these clips were not created, and on top of everything else on the stage, how do you get around that with duplicateMovieClip?

using flash pro 8, actionscript 2.0

function getJobs_Result(result){
	clearResults();
	depth = 1;
	yposition = getProperty(jobItem, _y);
	showingResults = true;
	numResults = result.getLength();
	if(numResults > 10){loopEnd = 10} else {loopEnd = numResults}
	for(i=0;i<loopEnd;i++){
		duplicateMovieClip(jobItem, "jobItem_" add i, depth);
		eval("jobItem_" add i).swapDepths(this);
		setProperty("jobItem_" add i, _y, yposition);
		depth++;
		yposition = yposition+getProperty(jobItem, _height);
		eval("jobItem_" add i).OrderID = result.items[i].OrderID;
		eval("jobItem_" add i).JobTitle = result.items[i].JobTitle;
		var tLocation = result.items[i].City + ", " + result.items[i].State;
		eval("jobItem_" add i).Location = tLocation;
	}
}

in a word removeMovieClip()


or maybe depending on the rest of your code set the visible property to false
