First I tried the parent...
Then I tried setting each of the panels (the children)...
On each one I tried setting creationIndex incrementally on each control that I had just set creationIndex....
And I couldn't get it to draw properly... either the controls weren't created @ all... or they were created but the children weren't...
I found this simple example in the docs...
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">
<mx:VBox id="accord" width="300" height="200" creationPolicy="queued">
<mx:HBox label="HBox1" creationPolicy="queued" creationIndex="3" borderStyle="solid" width="100%">
<mx:Button label="Box 1" creationComplete="output.text += 'box1 created' + '\n'"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox label="HBox2" creationPolicy="queued" creationIndex="2" borderStyle="solid" width="100%">
<mx:Button label="Box 2" creationComplete="output.text += 'box2 created' + '\n'"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox label="HBox3" creationPolicy="queued" creationIndex="1" borderStyle="solid" width="100%">
<mx:Button label="Box 3" creationComplete="output.text += 'box3 created' + '\n'" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:TextArea id="output" width="200" height="200" />
</mx:Application>
Does this mean that I have to wrap whatever I want to be created in order in a "Container" subclass like an HBox?
You set each of the Panels to creationPolicy="queued" or just the parent Canvas? I think you want to set just the Canvas and not set any of the others. Have you given any of the Panels a creationIndex? I'm not sure if it's required to have an index or if it will work automatically without. Maybe if any of them have an index all of them need it?

Subject: [flexcoders] can someone explain creationPolicy="queued"
I thought the concept seemed pretty straightforward to me...--
According to the docs... setting the parent container's creationPolicy to queued should create its children in a queued manner.
When i set my containers (which are subclassed panel components by the way ) creationPolicy="queued" they don't create their child components @ all... (very frustrating)
When I set the parents (a Canvas) creationPolicy to queued, (of the panels i just mentioned) the panels don't get created one @ a time
I'm really confused by the whole experience...
