If the child never finished validation because a call to updateDisplayList invalidates size or properties, you won't get creation_complete

Hello listers, I have a custom component I use in two locations in my app. In one instance it appears with all subcomponents laid out correctly but in the other it appears with an inner subcomponent blank, it is not drawn. This only happens on the web Flash Player tho, the same component under AIR shows both instances drawn correctly. Tracing I find that under AIR I can handle the FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE for the inner subcomponent for both instances. In the web version only one of them (the one that appears complete) triggers the event handler, the other one never gets triggered. I imagine this would cause the empty component symptom since this is dispatched once drawing is complete. The CREATION_COMPLETE event for the parent is always triggered tho. Thanks, - Ivo
