A simple null check tells you whether they've been created or not.
But you should avoid writing your app in this way. Instead,you should pull data into components as they get created, such as by writing an 'initialize' handler on that component.

I am getting a null pointer reference when trying to access a value on a component nested in a viewstasck. I would assume i need to check if the children have been made first and if not call myViewStack.createComponentsFromDescriptors(true); Does anyone know the way to check this? Many Thanks Luke
