Using callLater() seems to have fixed this behavior. I dynamically created var f:Object = new form1();
I then call a recusive function on f, f.GetData() o is found a 1-2 levels of recursion (a canvas that's in an accordion that' in the canvs, f) So perhaps the call to updateDisplayList,etc had't yet worked their magic and created all of the nested components (namely o's childern). The debugger, however had. Calling callLater() before the recursive call, f.GetData() seems to have fixed this problem.
