It's not bad per se, depending on the use case. But, the navigator containers only instantiate the first child, and then the other children as needed (deferred instantiation); to cut down on the application load time. If your TabNavigator only has two children, you're not going to see much of a

Hi Tim, The problem is that only the first child of a TabNavigator is instantiated initially. Not best practice, but you can set creationPolicy="All" for the TabNavigator; in order to reference the other children on init. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "timgerr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wro
