Gradually create childs for displaying large data in Flex

Question

I have a large ArrayCollection that need to be displayed in series of Datagrid. After testing, the loading time is around 30secs-1minute.

My question here, is there a way to gradually add each datagrid and display it instead of waiting until all datagrids to fully created?

Existing :

• AddChild 1
• AddChild 2
• AddChild 3
• repeat until AddChild-x
• CreationComplete

My intended process :

• AddChild 1
• CreationComplete
• AddChild 2
• CreationComplete
• repeat until AddChild-x

My current implementation :

    <mx:VBox> 
        <mx:Repeater id="inputCategoryListMultiple">
            <renders:CustomPeriodGrid  data="{inputCategoryListMultiple.currentItem}"/>
        </mx:Repeater>
   </mx:VBox>
