Remember that SWFLoading is asynchronous in server environments. Not sure Gordon tested locally or remotely. In an asynch environment, the swf will not complete loading and have its stuff available until much later, after a COMPLETE event (not creationComplete).

But that band-aid short-circuits deffered instantiation, which I don't want to do. Also interesting is that creationPolicy="all" does not fix the problem. This is why I was thinking it had something to do with the timing of defferred instantiation vs. the bindings or something. It almost acts like createComponentsFromDescriptors() is getting called before the array is populated in the init() method, and then future calls to createComponentsFromDescriptors() don't fire or something. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Gordon Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Your code worked for me.
