I would try something like this…
for ( var i:Number=0;i<result.length;i++){
var
initProps:Object={percentWidth:90};
var
myCanvas:Canvas = createChild(mx.containers.Canvas, '', initProps);
initProps={text:myCanvas.id};
myCanvas.createChild(mx.controls.Label,
'', initProps);
}
I have had better luck using createChild
rather than addChild. I have also encountered problems when trying to set
an id when using createChild, and have had better luck letting flex assign an
id automatically. I have been using Flex 1.5, so I don’t know for
certain whether this would work for you in F2B2, but its worth a try.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Adding a
child to a vbox
I think the issue, is
when I try to add a child to a previously
created child. Here is the test code that I have.
for ( var i:Number=0;i<result.length;i++){
// CREATE CANVAS
//
var
newCanvas:Canvas = new Canvas();
newCanvas.percentWidth = 100;
newCanvas.id = "canvas" + i;
var canvasId =
newCanvas.id;
parentApplication.closing.mainBox.addChild(newCanvas);
var
newLabel:Label = new Label();
newLabel.text = canvasId;
parentApplication.closing.mainBox.canvasId.addChild(newLabel);
}
