I think I would override createComponentsFromDescriptors so you know when all of the children have been created.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sergey Kovalyov Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 8:12 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [flexcomponents] commitProperties() and navigation container children Hi All! Long time ago I have asked the question regarding commitProperties() implementation in the container that might be a navigation container child: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg47993.html Unfortunately, I have not got any answer. Though we, in our team, use kind of workaround: override protected function commitProperties() : void { super.commitProperties(); if (processedDescriptors) { // Do all properties deferred processing here. } else { _commitPropertiesPostponed = true; } } ... private function onInitialize() : void { if (_commitPropertiesPostponed) { _commitPropertiesPostponed = false; invalidateProperties(); } } Thus if the commitProperties() is executing and there are no children created yet (this happens for navigation containers childrent and can be verified via processedDescriptors), we set the _commitPropertiesPostponed flag to true and then in initialize event handler reset it and call invalidateProperties() to execute commitProperties() once again. Though it looks like a hack. May be we are doing something wrong and better solution exists? Sergey.
