Hi Jeremy,
Well, first of all this does work:
<uic:SignOnForm id="signOnForm" connect="connector.connect(event)"/>
But this doesn't work:
<mx:SetEventHandler event="connect" target="{signOnForm}"
handler="connector.connect(event)"/>
...which is what confuses me.
Anyway, below is the package/class with the connect method that expects
an Event object as a parameter.
Yours truly,
-Brian
package FMSComponents {
import flash.events.Event;
import mx.controls.*;
public class FMSConnector extends flash.events.EventDispatcher{
public function FMSConnector(){
}
public function connect(ev:Event):void{
Alert.show("Time to connect! from: " + ev.target);
}
}
}
