So, I still don't understand. How would you create a component without having a
reference to it?
Also, if you have a public var thisComponentIsComplete:Boolean in your
component that gets set when the creationComplete event fires, why can't you
just ask the component if it has been created?
if(theNewComponentIJustGotAReferenceTo.thisComponentIsComplete)
{
trace("This Component has been created");
}
