[flexcoders] flex not seeing method

[dnk]

Hi there, I have an mxml component that dispatches an event. Now when  
i use the component, the meta data is showing up fine. But when i  
assign a handler, flex says that it is a call to a possibly undefined  
method. But it is there plain as day. IDeas???

Code snippets below.

DownloadResizeEvent.as - pretty stock custom event:

package elib.event
{
        
        import flash.events.Event;
        
        public class DownloadResizeEvent extends Event
        {
                
                public static const DOWNLOADRESIZE_EVENT:String =  
"downloadresizeevent";
                
                public function DownloadResizeEvent(type:String):void
                {
                        super(type);
                }
                
                // Override the inherited clone() method.
         override public function clone():Event {
             return new DownloadResizeEvent(type);
         }

        }
}

now in my component.mxml:

  (in a script block)

<<<snip>>>
import elib.event.*;
<<<//snip>>>

  (in same script block)

<<<snip>>>
//located in a method
dispatchEvent( new Event(DownloadResizeEvent.DOWNLOADRESIZE_EVENT) );

<<<//snip>>>

Then later in my mxml

<<<snip>>>
<mx:Metadata>
        [Event(name="DownloadResizeEvent",  
type="elib.event.DownloadResizeEvent")]
</mx:Metadata>
<<<//snip>>>




An now in my other mxml file that has my component.mxml called in it:

main.mxml


  (in my root tag)

<<<snip>>>
xmlns:view="elib.view.components.*"
<<<//snip>>>


  (in a script block)

<<<snip>>>
import elib.event.*;
<<<//snip>>>

  (in same script block)
<<<snip>>>
//event handler
private function handler_resize(evt:Event):void {
                        
                }

<<<//snip>>>



<<<snip>>>
<view:componentmxml DownloadResizeEvent="handler_resize(event)"/>
<<<//snip>>>
