How about using a wrapper class?
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;
public final class Wrapper {
private var _contextInfo:Object;
private var _a:IEventDispatcher;
public function get content():IEventDispatcher {
return _a;
}
public function get contextInfo():Object {
return _contextInfo;
}
public function Wrapper(url:String, contextInfo:Object)
{
_contextInfo = contextInfo;
// new instance
_a = new A();
// or reference
_a = A.getInstance();
//
_a.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onCompleteEvent);
_a.loadSomething(url);
}
private function onCompleteEvent(eventObj:Event):void {
// implement custom event to which class B will
listen
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(eventObj.type,
_contextInfo));
// or specify a getter for contextInfo from this
Wrapper class
}
}
}

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.
