Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a web application (not verified on AIR)
2. add a creation complete handler to the application
3. create 2 panels and initialize them in the application creation complete handler
4. add the 2nd panel to the first using addElement()
5. add separate event listeners to each panel for their creation complete events
6. add a breakpoint at in each of the panels creation complete handlers
7. debug the application

Actual Results:
1. the creation complete handler on the second panel will be hit
2. the creation complete handler on the first panel will never be hit

Expected Results:
1. neither creation complete handler should be fired as neither of the panels were added to the applicaitons graphics
or ever drawn

Workaround (if any):

use dataproviders and added to stage handlers (Hack)
