Let me see if I understand you right:

 1.  You have a class A, which declares an event E.  I presume this is
how the event is declared:

  Event("E")
  class A {
    ...
  }

 2.  You have a class B that extends A.

  class B extends A {
    ...
  }

You want that class B should be able to have an E-handler in MXML,
such as the following, right?

 <B E="eHandler()" />

It'll work.  You don't need to declare E in the code for B again.
