Dan, the concept for try and catch is quite different to error handling. In try/catch you provide a reference to an object that represents the kind of error you can expect to handle.
Event handlers are not trying to catch a kind of event, they are catching a specific event. It's the differenc in flex between having a component in flex (of some class), but refer to it by its id to get at the instance.

Paul, I think you are right. Since Event is represented by object, I thought you could create event handlers in polymorphic manner, just like when handling errors, when you write catch(e:MyErrorClass). Such catch would also handle MyChildErrorClass error. It seems that this does not work with events.. I guess the alternative is using custom dispatcher.
