Hi Eric,
first suggestion. Unless there is a really good reason not to, loose
the AsBroadcaster class. It is unreliable and has been well an truely
replaced by EventDispatcher. You can import this into your class, set
up an event dispatcher Object, add event listeners and then
dispatchEvent in the same place that you presently 'broadcastMessage',
only it'll work ;)
The basic lines of code are below, sorry, don't have more time to set out
a class for ya ;)
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
public var objBroadcaster:Object;
objBroadcaster.addEventListener("markerPressed", Delegate.create(this,
this.markerPressed));
objBroadcaster.dispatchEvent({type:eventName, param:param});
In my example the event dispatcher line (the last line of code above) is
part of a generic event dispatcher function which accepts the event type
and any parameters as part of the function call. You could hard code it.
Good luck
