Kenneth: Thanks for the response. That is precisely how I have done it in the past as well. Unfortunately, I do not know how to create functions "on-the-fly." I am creating the entire object using AS code and then displaying it in a popup. Is there a way of creating a new function in an object as you create it? If so I could create an initApp() function and call it from creationComplete.
Also is there a better way of posting code so that it doesn't lose its formatting?
