Hi Ian,
I didn't fully understand your reply to Muzak's suggestion, but this is
based on that and seems to fit the bill.
Sorry it's a bit messy but you get the idea...
Are there still issues with this one?
-------
//call class b passing extra param
var b:B = new B();
b.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onBComplete);
b.loadSomethingAndProcessIt("url.swf", someParameter);
function onBComplete(event:Event) {
var thingYouWant:Object = event.customEventValue;
}
//Class B based on Muzak's(thanks!)
>> class B {
>>
private var contextInfo:Object;
>> public function loadSomethingAndProcessIt(url:String,
ontextInfo:Object):void{
>> contextInfo = contectInfo;
>> r a:A = new A();
>> a.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onALoaded);
>> a.loadSomething(url);
>> }
>>
>> function onALoaded(event:Event):void {
>> dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(contextInfo));
>> }
>>
>> }
//Custom Event to be fired from Class B
package etc...
public class CustomEvent extends Event
{
private var customEventValue:Object;
Function CustomEvent(contextInfo) {
super(etc...)
customEventValue = contextInfo;
}
}

Oh, and reading the link you supplied, the only concrete suggestion is
from Aral Balkan, who suggests (as someone did in an earlier thread)
that you subclass the Event class.
How would that help in my case? Any suggestions? To go back to my
original example, if you assume class A is a black box that fires an
event of class Event (Event.COMPLETE), we have no way (to the best of
my knowledge) to make class A produce subclasses of Event instead;
unless the suggestion is to subclass A to produce different events,
which (depending on A's implementation) could be very difficult.

(Getting frustrated!)
