One way to do so:

private var dictionaty:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
private var button:Button = new Button();

protected function initializeComponent():void
{
this.button.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete);
this.dictionary[this.button] = false;
}

function onCreationComplete(event:Event):void
{
if (event.target == this.button)
{
dictionary[this.button] = true;
}

Working this way you can allways test, wether the component-creation has been 
completed or not.

Any time you're going to create a Dictionary to keep track of things like
this, make sure to use weak references, by calling new Dictionary(true) or
your app is likely to leak memory like a sieve :)

And you might be able to get away with UIComponent.initialized, depending on
what it is you're actually trying to achieve.

Or delete the reference manually. There have been some discussion about

So, say I missed the creation_complete eventor I can't listen for it.

there is no programmatic way to ask a component if it is complete
right?  I know UIComponent ( or something like that ) has the

I didn't think that necessarily meant 'creation complete' according to
