93ADOBE FLEX 3
Building and Deploying Adobe Flex 3 Applications
The following example shows the major events that are dispatched during a container’s creation life cycle:
After all components are created and drawn, the Application object dispatches an
applicationComplete event.
This is the last event dispatched during an application startup.
The creation order of multiview containers (navigators) is different from standard containers. By default, all top-
level views of the navigator are instantiated. However, Flex creates only the children of the initially visible view.
When the user navigates to the other views of the navigator, Flex creates those views’ children. For more infor-
mation on the deferred creation of children of multiview containers, see “Using deferred creation” on page 94.
For a detailed description of the component creation life cycle, see “About creating advanced components” on
page 129 in Creating and Extending Adobe Flex 3 Components.
