what Darin said :) I'll add, much of the component lifecylce doesn't fire until adding it to the parent, eg parent.addChild(). initialize() is called by the framework after the addChild() is called. THis kicks off each subsequent event in the lifecycle. Thus creationComplete() would fire as normal after addChild() is called.
this is a nice PDF on this sort of thing http://flex.org/ACDS/BuildingAFlexComponent.pdf IIRC, this was Ely's preso at MAX 2005, recalling stuff from MAX is not always dependable though, eh? :) DK On 8/22/07, Darin Kohles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The creationComplete event in the custom component should fire > automatically (when creation is complete ;). > > If you want to fire off an event by hand you would do a dispatch event: > > dp3.dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE)); > > The component should already have a listener registered using the > function "functionHandler".
