[flexcoders] creationComplete Not Firing

[urmacboy]

We're experiencing an interesting problem where the function in the
creationComplete attribute in the Application tag fails to run.  Has
anyone else experienced problems with this attribute.  The code for
our Application tag is as follows:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
                            layout="absolute" 
                            xmlns:ns1="assets.*" 
                            backgroundImage="../assets/images/bark.png" 
                            width="1024" height="768" 
                            backgroundGradientAlphas="[0.0, 0.0]"
                            creationComplete="initApp()">

Thanks for any advice.
