What happens if you call initialize() on the object? If you get runtime errors when you try to initialise the object that way, then maybe the framework requires the object to be on the display list. Well, tough luck. Another option is to add the objects to an invisible container in the application; once you get the 'creationComplete' event, you can remove the object and in the end just destroy the invisible container. I don't if that'll lead to other problems, but try it out. Manish
