Relax Breath of Solution.

Flex’s components have a nice id property which can be used to easily referencing object created.
All you know, that if I get the following mxml Application file:

Composite components are components that contain multiple components. They might be graphical assets or a combination of graphical assets and component classes. For example, you can create a component that includes a button and a text field, or a component that includes a button, a text field, and a validator.

createChildren()

The callLater() method queues an operation to be performed for the next screen refresh, rather than in the current update. Without the callLater() method, you might try to access a property of a component that is not yet available. The callLater() method is most commonly used with the creationComplete event to ensure that a component has finished being created before Flex proceeds with a specified method call on that component.
