That is not even a "custom event", it is a flash event with a custom type.
The metadata should go above the class definition, but the metadata should not be necessary. If you are depending on the bubbling, are yo sure the Adaption. class is in the child hierarchy of the listener? PopUps, for example are not.

I need to notify the parent application of when data is finished loading. Here is what I've been playing with: Class File: created as a Flex Library Project package com.adaption.instance { import com.adaption.Adaption_SiteDetails_Structure; import flash.events.Event; public class Adaption_SiteDetails_ { private static var instance:Adaption_SiteDetails_; public static function get siteDetail():Adaption_SiteDetails_ { if (instance == null) { instance = new Adaption_SiteDetails_; } return instance; } [Bindable] public var myInstance_SiteDetails:Object = new Adaption_SiteDetails_Structure; [Event (name="enableChanged", type="flash.events.Event")] public function createSiteDetail(dataObject:Object):void { siteDetail.myInstance_SiteDetails.businessLine = dataObject.businessLine; siteDetail.myInstance_SiteDetails.businessPartnerID = dataObject.businessPartnerID; siteDetail.myInstance_SiteDetails.ccEnterpriceID = dataObject.ccEnterpriceID; siteDetail.myInstance_SiteDetails.ccGroupID = dataObject.ccGroupID; dispatchEvent(new Event("enableChanged",true)); } Application File: creationComplete="initApp(event)" // in the application header. private function initApp(e:FlexEvent):void { valueOfBusinessPartner = Application.application.parameters.businessPartnerValue; valueOfAuthCode = Application.application.parameters.authCodeValue; valueOfAppiaWs = Application.application.parameters.appiaWsValue; if (valueOfAuthCode == "QA") { header.lblConnectionType.text = "QA-build" } loadWsXML(e); loadBpXML(e); loadAcXML(e); bm = BrowserManager.getInstance(); bm.init("", "OfficeFone Dashboard - Site Administrator"); bm.setTitle("OfficeFone Dashboard - Site Administrator"); this.addEventListener("enableChanged", getSiteDetailsHandler); } Any one see where I've gone wrong or what I've missed? I tried putting <MetaData> tags around the Event method but no love , I've tired the MetaDataEvent (that the only option when I ctrl-SpaceBar) EventDispatch is soething else I've tired. Do I need to create a Custom Event Class in the library? or should I be doing this another way... I am trying to create a component libary to invoke a web service, store the data and send out a notification upon completion of the data retrieval. Thanks...
