Yep. You use that metadata tag when you want to expose the event to a
container component via mxml
(Eg.)
<mx:Button click="handleClick(event)" />
If you look at the source of mx:Button you'll see the metadata for the
click event.
I wasn't sure if you knew that so i didn't comment on it.
So you would use the metadata tag if you wanted to do the following.
<Canvas>
<script>
private function handleFormSubmitted(e:CustomEvent):void {...}
</script>
<MyComponent
id="mc"
formSubmitted="handleFormSubmitted(event)"
/>
</Canvas>
MyComponent would have the metadata tag declaring the name and the type
of the event it dispatches and then it appears in FlexBuilder as a hint.
This is pretty much the same as writing the following:
mc.addEventListener("formSubmitted", handleForSubmitted);
HTH.
