[Interest] Dynamically created item destroyed with original parent despite reparenting

[Peter Klosowski]

Unfortunately, the solution Elvis provided does not work for me. Instead, I
get the following error:

TypeError: Property 'push' of object [object Object] is not a function

Of course, that means the blue rectangle stays on the screen, but only
because the code after the error never gets executed (i.e. oldParent never
gets destroyed).

Nevertheless, I believe this would be the right track, if it is possible at
all.

Best regards,
kloffy
