I don't know if this is related, but there is one problem with the name of the event. The event is "downloadresizeevent", while in the meta declaration and the event handler you are calling it "DownloadResizeEvent".
You will have either to change the event's name with: public static const DOWNLOADRESIZE_EVENT:String = "DownloadResizeEvent"; or correct how you reference it: <<<snip>>> <mx:Metadata> [Event(name="downloadresizeevent", type="elib.event.DownloadResizeEvent")] </mx:Metadata> <<<snip>>> <<<snip>>> <view:componentmxml downloadresizeevent="handler_resize(event)"/> <<<//snip>>> Haykel Ben Jemia Allmas Web & RIA Development http://www.allmas-tn.com On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 6:35 PM, dnk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, I have an mxml component that dispatches an event.
