There's a whole validation sequence after you call addChild. Theres an updateComplete event when done, and you can force it by calling validatenow(), but that can be expensive.

Sometimes the addition of these images results in clipping and the creation of scrollbars, so I'm checking the position of a certain image to see if it's in the viewable area. However, it seems like the scrollbars have not yet been added to the canvas at the time I am checking for them, which is immediately after I've added the images. I'm assuming it's some kind of rendering timing issue, like I'm still within the method stack so it doesn't render the canvas with the new objects yet. Is there a way to force the scrollbars to be added?
