Tight coupling is not "bad", it just has consequences. You will need to judge for yourself the cost/benefit in your case.

Hi, I'm quite new to Flex and was wondering if it's possible to use Meta Tags to declare the custom Event that is to be fired from the 'popup' component. And then assign that Custom Event to the function handler in the parent MXML or AS file? I guess this is the same as Geoff and Vaibhav's suggestion? Why do you guys suggest that the parent dispatches the event. Doesn't that cause compoenent coupling which I understand to be a bad thing?... Thanks - as I say, I'm new to this stuff so am curious to the thoughts of those in the know... Cheers, Nick 2009/12/18 Fotis Chatzinikos <fotis.chatzinikos@ <mailto:[email protected]> gmail.com> Either what Valdor suggested, or in your pop window have a "componentOwner" refrence which you use to dispatch your event: popup: public var componentOwner:DisplayObject ; popup dispatches event: componentOwner.dispatchEvent(...your event...) ; application using the popup: thePopUp = new MyCustomPopUp() ; thePopUp.componentOwner = this ; PopUpManager.addPopUp(thePopUp) ; On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 10:05 PM, markflex2007 <markflex2007@ <mailto:[email protected]> yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, I want to dispatch event in popup window and capture the event in base page.
