Hmmm, this is the way I have done it - but my event handler is not firing.
I am dispatching my DynamicEvent from a Cairngorm command - in the
execute method I have:
var evt:DynamicEvent = new DynamicEvent("initCompleted");
dispatchEvent(evt);
in my module's creationComplete handler I have this code:
this.addEventListener("initCompleted",initCompletedHandler);
Then in the module's script block I have the event handler
private function initCompletedHandler(event:DynamicEvent):void{
}
This handler never gets hit.
