Flex 3: application complete question

my main mxml piece 开发者_运维问答loads 3 children. Each one of these 3 children then loads 12 children of their own. My question is, is there a way I can have a function run once all the children, and grandchildren are fully done loading? I've tried using creationComplete as well as applicationComplete, and the function is still running after the main mxml is loaded...

Have you taken a look at this Flex 3 Livedoc? It's quite difficult without the MXML to figure out what you mean exactly. As @Jonathan mentions above, looking at creationPolicy in the above link should try explain some of the creation and initialization steps you need to understand.
