Hi.
Im trying to get a child component to listen for an event that happens on
tabchange in the parent.
The parent is an application with a TabNavigator object.
When the tabchanges I want the the child component to carry out some stuff.
In the parent Ive got:
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="buttonLabelEvent", type=" flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
then in the tabChange function Ive got:
var bLEvent:Event = new Event("buttonLabelEvent");
dispatchEvent(bLEvent);
Now I want to listen for this event in a child component.
There are several instances of the childcomponent (which is basically a form
containing a combobox) in the main application.
I want every instance of the childcomponent to listen and act when a
tabchange occurs in the main component.
So far in the component I have:
creationComplete="postInit()"
Then in postInit I have:
this.addEventListener(Application.application.buttonLabelEvent,
buttonLabelHandler);
However, this is not right.
how do I do this...?
Thanks for help...
Kind regards.
Luke Vanderfluit.
