Hi Scott, Thanks for replying.
The textarea is in the application mxml and not created dynamically. I only tried with that because when nothing else is working, you want to simplify. The down side is eventually you get the test case working and the real problem can still exist. The real problem is getting the component that contains the forms to fade out and the result form to fade in. But if it is a simple syntax (run time as there is no errors or warnings in the IDE) error, then it should be simple to fix. The state change is caused by the user clicking a button. The stage is already drawn before they can do that as it is dependent on them changing at least one thing in the input form. In this case the textarea is not in either of the components (input or result), but one of the very few items in the application mxml.
