Icon in Panel Title Bar

Hi Guys,

 I have made a custom mxml component and its called my panel. The panel is held in a view, however my problem is the first call to the view works fine all the links and everything are correct, however when I do a second call to the same view the old data is in the links, I know i need to invalidate the display some how but I am totally stumpted.

Any suggestions / soultions would be great

thanks in advance

John

This is a typical call to it
 
<common:customPanel screenID="overviewLinks" linkName="{modelAnnuity.annuityOverviewVO.annuityOwnerAnnuitantPnlTitle}"    titleStyleName="txtPanelHead" styleName="pnlContent" verticalGap="0" horizontalAlign="right" width="100%" height="100%" id="owners_Title">
 
 
My panel code is this
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="updateText()" styleName="pnlContent" titleStyleName="txtPanelHead">
