I'm trying to add something into a panel in an accordion, I'm using the FlexEvent.SHOW to add the contents once the panel is displayed (this works pretty much everywhere else - e.g. a tab navigator). In my case trying to add the contents to a non visible element doesn't work (as I'm trying to get bitmap data), so I have to wait until they're visible before I can add my stuff.
But in the Accordion it appears the FlexEvent.SHOW isn't fired the first time a panel is shown (the event listener added to the VBox that wraps panels content) -- it's fired the second time the panel is shown but never on the first time. I've tried listening for FlexEvent.INITIALIZE but that seems to be firing a little too early for what I'm doing. Basically all I need to know is as soon as a given panels content is displayed. I'd like a one solution fits all so for tab navigators etc. I only want to add my content when a non visible element becomes visible, but failing that I can add a specific workaround (if it's possible) to make it handle accordions different. Any ideas? Hope that makes sense. -D
