Make sure that the object that you call dispatchEvent on is the same as the object where you did the addEventListener. So if 'this' in the addEventListener line is the panel, make sure you're calling dispatchEvent on the Panel.

As i'm new in flex, i'm trying to use event broadcast and listener to manage all that. I'm creating a simple canvas and call several time the same custom mxml component (offerPanel, basically a panel displaying my element information), each element having his alpha depending on a formula (and this is working fine). What i want to do is to have a button enabling the slide and thus changing the x coordinate of all element panels in one click (to trigger an effect for example). What i do so far is : my button call a click function doing : dispatchEvent({type:"moveOffersRight"}); in my offerPanel.mxml, i do the following thing : function initializePanel():Void { this.addEventListener("moveOffersRight",mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, function(event):Void { mx.core.Application.alert("received moveOffersRight");})); } and call this function at initialization of the main mx:Panel of my offerPanel component. The fact is that nothing happen when i click on the button. I think i'm doing a big mistake somewhere (may be i don't really understand how broadcast and listener works together?). Anybody to help me so far? thanks a lot, Antoine ___________________________________________________________________________ Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger !
