Use Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE instead of creation-complete - you can also use init to construct listeners in the MXML although i have seen in the past this occasionally gets messy.
The reason behind this is that after the first hit of the event, you dont want it to occur again - in the MXML pattern there is no-way (unless created and destructed in code via the addEventListener / removeEventListener) to detach the event receiver. One elegant way is to subclass your MXML component from a custom class (actionscript code) in which you attach listeners in the class creation. Then in the MXML override these functions - its a nice way to get around these types of issues. Hope that helps - i sent through an earlier (this morning actually) post re something similar to this issue.
