ok answering my own questions again but anyone who liked to follow along. . .
so yeah. on creationComplete DOES return after skins loaded. But because I was converting the skin to a MovieClip it would return null instead of yelling at me for wrong type etc (nice). SO, then i convert to DisplayObject container and got a rad "hack" rocking: var d:DisplayObjectContainer = this.getChildAt(0) as DisplayObjectContainer; var mc:MovieClip = d["myMovieClip"] as MovieClip; I can see this work by setting some prop: mc.alpha = .5 BUT, I can't add any events to it. . . ?????????? I've tried setting enabled, mouseEnabled, etc to true but still doesn't propogate mouse events. Anyone? ________________________________ From: Flex Noob <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 11:46:19 PM Subject: [flexcoders] When the heck are states ready? I'm setting button states using embed swfs. on click I know my button has 4 children: upState overState downState label when checking for these children on creation complete: nadda. I've tried listening for different events but nothing seems to fire. As a hack I know i can set enterFrame event to check BUUUUUUUTTTTTTT. . . . REALLY???? I mean come on flex.
