To answer your question, it's a matter of a where and a when which are not apparent in your sample code. Where is the event Event.COMPLETE dispatched from container_middle2? When does that event fire? Are you possibly assigning the listener after the event has already fired?

I have the following code: function SpinMiddle() { big_container.addChild(container_middle2) var path:String = "images/mid" + j + ".png"; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(req); loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, function(e:IOErrorEvent):void{ trace(e) }); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, SpinMiddleLoaded); } function SpinMiddleLoaded(evt:Event):void { var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo; var displayObject:DisplayObject = loaderInfo.content; displayObject.width = 319; displayObject.height = 502; container_middle2.addChild(displayObject); container_middle2.x = 349; container_middle2.y = -482; mid_done = true; var rand:Number = new Number(randomNumber(300, 500)); var timeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite({onComplete: RemoveMiddle()}); timeline.append(new TweenLite(container_middle, rand/100, {alpha: 1})); timeline.append(new TweenLite(container_middle, 1, {x:349, y:522})); var timeline2:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite(); timeline2.append(new TweenLite(container_middle2, rand/100, {alpha: 1})); timeline2.append(new TweenLite(container_middle2, 1, {x:349, y:20})); } function RemoveMiddle() { container_middle2.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, AllDone); } AllDone() is never called, even though a trace in RemoveMiddle() traces. I've tried replacing container_middle2 with big_container in RemoveMiddle() but with no luck. Please advise.
