Re: [flexcoders] init, creationcomplete and other events
I don't think we’ve written documentation that makes the order obvious because the first 3 are component lifecycle events and the last is an application event. But they are individually documented and should have reasonable descriptions. There have been lots of presentations on the component lifecycle so maybe some book or other media has it.

Preinitialize, initialize, creationComplete, applicationComplete. Objects do not have a stage until applicationComplete.
