When the example code executes I do see the FlexContentHolder symbol (<Fx>) on the display where I would expect it to be, i.e. positioned where I would expect, with the dimensions I would expect, so I think it's already on the DisplayList. As well, I can make it invisible if I want, so it does appear to be available and active - it's just the Flex content that doesn't show.
