I think giving an example is perfectly fine answer. But in words it would be 
something like  this:

"You put an event attribute on the component tag. The name of the attribute is 
the event type the component should listen for. The value of the attribute is 
the body of the event handler to be executed when it hears that event. The 
event handler can use an implied argument named 'event' to access the Event 
instance."

> 5) How do you add event listeners in mxml components. Now AS3 components?

I was actually asked this once (someone was actually asking me at work) - but - 
I didn't really know how to answer the mxml portion - other than to give a code 
sample...

<custom:MyComponent eventType="eventHandler()" />

What WOULD be a better/proper answer for that???
