I wasn't familiar with modules, but I read up a bit on them. Sounds
ideal for what I will be doing, but maybe I'll tackle that later.
So I changed my event listeners like you described. That part works
great! I no longer have to take the 'hacky' approach of trying again
every 1 second after the app has been loaded. Thanks for that.
But, my initial problem still exists. About 1 in 20 launches, the
everything works fine. The other times I get the runtime error. Again,
the error is:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.core::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IFactory.

So I commented out the lines that deal with BarSeries Objects (it was
about 5 lines of code). Running the loaded app as a stand-alone app
still works fine (other than my chart has no bars). Running it loaded
inside the other app results in a very similar runtime error, but this
time:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.graphics::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.graphics.IStroke.

Again, it works about 1 in 20 attempts.
Talk about frustrating! It still seems like the items inside of the
state I changed to aren't ready before I try to manipulate them. Or
something, I don't know? Do you suppose I need to setup some listener on
the state that says, once the state is fully loaded, then run the state
manipulation code? Maybe I'll try something like that.
Thanks again.
