I do not see anything wrong with your code. Maybe strip out everything but the empty canvases and see if that changes the behavior.
But I feel obliged to advise against proceeding down this path. Using the ViewStack as a dataProvider seems to be a handy shourtcut, but if you ever want to do anyting a bit more complex, like hiding or disabling a view, this approach will cause you trouble. You will find yourself buried in addChild/removeChild code, just to control your UI. Instead, create a separate dataProvider to drive the tab bar, and manipulate that directly to control tab bar UI and thus access to the viewstack. I suspect that will also fix your current problem, whatever it is.

My TabBar controls the active child container of a ViewStack container and receives the value of lableField from the child container. When looking at the panel in design mode in FlexBuilder, the labels on the tabbar show up just fine, however, once it is compiled, the labels do not show. I've been trying different things to determine the reason but have come up short. Below is the posted code. If anyone sees anything that I am doing incorrectly, can you please point me in the right direction?
