Each component dispatches a creationComplete message during application startup - if it is meant to be created at startup. Otherwise each component will dispatch the message whenever it is actually created.

From the documentation link above:

After all components are created and drawn, the Application object dispatches an applicationComplete event. This is the last event dispatched during an application startup.

*Edited to reflect other times when creationComplete events get dispatched, besides just the context of application startup.
