The code is too complicated to summarize--there are so many interconnections it would take you days to untangle (it has me!). For a long time we've encountered what we thought was a "compiler bug" where the order of compilation would change the behavior of the application. That is, if we deleted everything and compiled from scratch, some binding would not execute, and some component would not display. Then if we simply touched the code of the disappearing component, it would show up! Apparently the only difference is the order that things are compiled/linked.
I have come to believe in the last few days that it's not a compiler bug, but a simple order-of-initialization problem. One needs to understand very well the order of initialization, invalidation, and so on, and to this point we've been blissfully unaware of it. Anyway, that's why I'm investigating constructObject2 and init now--trying to get a handle on it. But as with so many things in the documentation, things in AS and Flex are done slightly differently, but with no acknowledgement of the differences. They got the same shit over there we got over here, it's just there it's a little different. I'm trying to order a Royal with Cheese, reading from the American menu.
