I also want to add that the metadata only affects code hinting. You'll still need to dispatch that event from within your custom component.

    addEventListener expects a string containing the event name as its
    first argument.

    Hello developers,

    in a custom component, I defined an event in metatag like this

    [Event(name="dragEnd", type="flash.events.Event")]
    public class ta extends TextArea
    {
    }

    Now inside this component how do I add the event listener for
    this event which was defined in the metatag.

    in the component constructor I tried to add the event listener
    like this
    addEventListener(dragEnd,startPanAndZoom);
    or
    addEventListener(this.dragEnd,startPanAndZoom);

    None works. How do I do it then? Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards....
