A couple fo issues here:
function startUp():Void
{
/* event listener needs target (this) event to listen for
(MouseTypeEvent.CLICK) and what to do about it (myClickFunction - stay
away from using key words like 'click' for custom functions */
this.addEventListener(MouseEventType.CLICK, myClickFunction);
/* same goes here, notice change in syntax target.|event|function */
this.parent.addEventListener("myEvent", someFunction);
dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent));
}
myClickFunction(event:Event):Void {// some stuff here}
If you want to send information using an an event you'll need to find
a different mechanism e.g. a global variable, or another interface
function that is step up to pass data. The event listener is more to
say 'when' something happens, not 'what' is to happen.
Good Luck
