Question

I’m having a viewstack with a few components.
Those components have to execute a function with parameters coming from other components.
Therefore the other component may not me loaded directly.

Is there any way to load a component via AS3 with a function?

Thanks a lot!

eterps details how to add child components at run time. If you’ve specified your child components in MXML, you have a few options for creation:

• use creationPolicy=auto — the engine decides when components are instantiated
• use creationPolicy=all — everything is instantiated at startup
• use creationPolicy=auto or none, but manually instantiate children when needed. See: creating deferred components

Since auto isn’t working for you, I’d try all. Only if that instantiates too much too soon would I delve into deferred components.
