I was wondering why a flex control or container does not dispatch a FlexEvent.SHOW when showing the first time? Given this code: <mx:Panel id="panel" show="Alert.show('I am showing')" creationComplete="Alert.show('I was created')"/> <mx:Button click="panel.visible = !panel.visible" label="Show/Hide"/> When the "panel" Panel is constructed, the creationComplete is fired and I see my Alert "I was created". But I DO NOT get the Alert "I am showing". If I then click the button to hide it and click it again to show it, I am getting the show event. Why no show event initially? This applies equally well to TitleWindow, Button, Box, ...
