The show event isnt dispatched on creation of the component, the event
CreationComplete is dispatched because show, for the compiler means to
go to the displaylist and show the component, but if the component
isnt in the displaylist it cant show anything instead it creates it.
So have two handlers, creationComplete (i belive) and show, both
calling the same method

I was wondering why a flex control or container does not dispatch a
FlexEvent.SHOW when showing the first time? Given this code:
<mx:Panel
id="panel"
show="Alert.show('I am showing')"
creationComplete="Alert.show('I was created')"/>
<mx:Button
click="panel.visible = !panel.visible"
label="Show/Hide"/>
When the "panel" Panel is constructed, the creationComplete is fired
and I see my Alert "I was created". But I DO NOT get the Alert "I am
showing".
If I then click the button to hide it and click it again to show it, I
am getting the show event.
Why no show event initially?
This applies equally well to TitleWindow, Button, Box, ...
