Yes, I am considering using dispatchEvent.

The child's default state is set in the onLoad event, but the parent's
onLoad is setting a different state, but the parents onLoad is called
before the child's onLoad is called. So the parent is setting the
child to the required state, but then the child's onLoad is called,
which resets the state of the child.

It seems this issue is a side-effect of the way Flash progressively
loads the file.

One of the things I thought of is to have an empty stage and
instantiate all objects from the library at runtime. This shoudn't be
too difficult because there is a symbol for everything already. That
way at runtime the constuctor of the parent won't finish until all
child and grandchild objects are created and initialised.
