I still believe that all children of a viewstack are created no matter the creationpolicy. CreationPolicy affects the grandchildren. CreationComplete on the child is long gone. Try listening to SHOW as well, and call validateNow on the entire viewstack, not just the child. Children get their size from the parent.

It works fine when the creationPolicy is set to all, but when it's set to auto, uncreated views slide in blank, then render themselves. I thought that I could fix this by checking to see if a view has been created yet (the only way I could figure out how to do this is mx_internal::numChildrenCreated), and then trigger its creation with createComponentFromDescriptor. For some reason this isn't working though- my creationComplete function is never called...what am I doing wrong? override public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void { _lastIndex = selectedIndex; if(value != _lastIndex && value >= 0 && _lastIndex >= 0) { _newIndex = value; var targetChild:Container = getChildAt(value) as Container; if (targetChild.mx_internal::numChildrenCreated < 0) { targetChild.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,child_creation,false,0,true); createComponentFromDescriptor(targetChild.descriptor,true); targetChild.validateNow(); return; } else { slideTabs(_lastIndex,_newIndex); } } } private function child_creation(event:Event):void { slideTabs(_lastIndex,_newIndex); }
