When do the properties in a mxml declaration get committed to the object?

Question

If I do something like:

<myComponent id="foo" title="bar" />

The parameters don't seem to be available immediately within the component. When do they become available?

Answer 1

creationComplete will dispatch when all parts are completed.

Answer 2

From the Flex Docs:.

Flex dispatches the creationComplete event once for a component after the component is created and initialized.

Once a component is created and initialized, you can use its properties. Remember, all children components are created and initialized before their parents.
