There is no capture phase at the target so if no component has focus, the stage dispatches the event and a capture phase listener will not see it. There are places in the framework where we listen to stage in both target phase and capture phase in order to get "everything"

However, under certain circumstances (specifically when i click on a custom chart component), the event listeners will no longer fire until I click on other components _or_ I press the tab key. I have tried setting the event listeners with a high priority number as well but they still don't fire. What kind of things could be causing this behaviour? -- Alistair Hutton
