CREATION_COMPLETE is passed to each UIComponent before INIT_COMPLETE tells the preloader to go away.

I finally nailed it! Took me three hours. And I now really think this might be a Flex bug or at least an inconsistency. What I did wrong: I created my main controller (that sets up all event listeners and more) on INIT_COMPLETE And now I create it on CREATION_COMPLETE and everything is ok. Now here's the weird part: CREATION_COMPLETE is dispatched before INIT_COMPLETE And anyway one may expect that the Flex framework and everything needed is completely loaded on init_complete. That said: my problem is solved. But is this a Flex bug or am I looking at it the wrong way? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > There's nothing wrong with using that event, it is what is in your > preloader that matters.
