the reason it does not work on the stage is because when you are setting it theat component is most prob not created. remember that v2 components take a frame (in some cases 2 frames ) to be created (love this about flex, you have a creationComplete event). i would suggest trying to poll opver frames (you can use doLater or an onterFrame (beacon is advised) to do this.
