If the event bubbles, either one would work. If not, add it to the HList.
Based on your code, I do not think you need to enclose your
ProductViewer in the HBox. Additionally, your listener looks wrong.
Something like this should work fine:
private function addTab(catgNm:String,dsCategory:ArrayCollection):void {
var pv:ProductViewer = new ProductViewer();
pv.label=catgNm;
pv.flowerCollection=dsCategory;
pv.width= this.mainBox.width*.97
pv.addEventListener('itemAdded',addCartItem);
// or possibly this:
// pv.addEventListener(events.ShoppingCartItemEvent,addCartItem);
// assuming that events is an object and ShoppingCartItemEvent is a constant on
the events object named 'itemAdded'
tn.addChild(tb);
}
