[flexcoders] Child of a child custom event handler

[Scott]

 

I've got a parent component that contains a child panel that contains a
popup window.  When the user enters the information and submits, I want
to notify the top parent that a change has been made to refresh the
other components.

 

grandparent->Panel->PopupWindow

 

In the popup window component I have:

 

[CDATA ...[

 

public static const REFRESHEVENT:String = "refreshItems";

 

protected function validateInput():int

{

      var refreshScreen:Event = new Event( REFRESHEVENT, true, true );

 

... validate code

 

      dispatchEvent( refreshScreen );

...

}

 

That should bubble all the way up now...

 

 

In the grandparent component I have:

 

init():void

{

addEventListener( NewReservation.REFRESHEVENT, testevent );

}

 

private function testevent():void

{

      Alert.show("heard it");

}

 

 

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?  I can't seem to find anything in
the debugger to watch this...

 

Thanks!
