Hey Laurence, When ViewStack children are instantiated the creationComplete event is dispatched, but not the show event. So, if you navigate to the second ViewStack child, the first time, you'll only get creationComplete. After that, when you navigate to the second child the show event will be dispatched; from the second child's top-level container. Usually, if you need to do something regardless if its the first, or subsequent, times that you navigate to a child, you have to listen for both events.
