You have to add the event listener to the object that dispatches the event you want to listen to. If your panels have the ids "panel1" and "panel2" for example, you have to do:
panel1.addEventListener(NewEvent.FLIP_EVENT, test); panel2.addEventListener(NewEvent.FLIP_EVENT, test); and not this.addEventListener(NewEvent.FLIP_EVENT, test); If in the event listener function (test) you need to know which panel dispatched the event, you can use the event.target property or you can use a different event listener for every panel.
