Re: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?
Make the ViewStac's creationPolicy="all". - Original Message - From: Noah Hoffman To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 8:20 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?

RE: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?
That's the brute force way. It causes all controls in all panes of the ViewStack to get created at startup, and so will cause your app to start up slower. A better way is to initialize the control would be in the childrenCreationComplete event on the pane of the ViewStack where it lives. That event is dispatched when the user navigates to that pane, after the controls on it have undergone deferred instantiation. You could also try simply writing a creationComplete handler for the control itself. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 6:26 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?

RE: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?
The creationPolicy all method indeed resulted in extremely slow startup time. In the end, in the initialize method of the Application I explicitly called createComponent(0, true) on the parent of the component I wanted to force initialization on and it works like a charm. Thanks for the help.

RE: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?
OK, but that still isn't optimal. Why initialize a control at startup that the user can't see until she navigates? Did my suggestions not work, or do you simply prefer to write all initialization code on the top level tag (i.e., Application)? - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Noah Hoffman Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 9:47 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Force initialization of ViewStack children?
