Howard, I read the docs before posting to the group but it does not provide the answer for what I am looking. > But I think Manish's answer is the easier approach. Neither does Manish's answer. I do not know the type of event that I am trying to catch. All I know is that it inherits MyEvent. I cannot write addEventListener("foo", commonHandler), since I do not know what string developer will use for event type; it can be "foo", "baz" or "chooseyourown". I am writing a library that I would like other developers to extend. I would like to handle event that some other developer wrote extending my base event. The fact that he extended my base event class should be a criteria I should use to handle the event.
