It is not about using Flex components in any way. This issue can never be encountered in Flex, but it’s an unfortunate issue with component sets meant to run in vanilla AS3 applications. Thankfully, there are workarounds.

UIComponents are rendered AFTER they are added to their parent. By adding them to their parents before the parents themselves are added to the screen puts them all at (0,0). To properly implement this process, you might want to consider making a custom UIComponent by extending the UIComponent class. The UIComponent has the createChildren method where you are supposed to add children. Also, the updateDisplayList method is used for sizing and positioning…

If you need any help, try searching google for something like “custom uicomponent”
