[flexcoders] popup systemManager not working

[Mark Hosny]

Hey guys,

For some reason when I dispatch a custom event via the pop up, my  
main app isn't receiving the event.

In my main app I have a custom component called search, which  
contains a button to open up a pop window called new member. In my  
pop up I have this:

<mx:Metadata>
        [Event(name="onSendNewMember",type="com.event.SendNewMember")]
</mx:Metadata>

private function submitForm():void
        {
        newmemberinfo = new NewMemberInfo();
        newmemberinfo.HOHlastName = HOHlastName_txt.text;
        
        <!---abbreviate VO's for space--->
                
        dispatchEvent(new SendNewMember 
("onSendNewMember",newmemberinfo));
        }

Then in my main app

application.systemManager.addEventListener 
("onSendNewMember",onSendNewMember);

private function onSendNewMember(event:SendNewMember):void
        {
                Alert.show('GOT IT');
    }


thanks,

hoz
