It might be the Alert.show() that is expecting something else than an Object .. Philippe ________________________________

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); } } } jeremy lu wrote: >hi Brian, > >seems like this line is where the problem is : > >handler="connector.connect(event)" > >connect() is expecting an Object but what get passed in is an Event. > >what's inside the connect() method ? > > > >On 2/6/06, Brian Lesser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>FYI, I now can do what I want this way without using SetEventHandler: >> >> <mx:states> >> <mx:State name="SignOn"> >> <mx:AddChild><fmsc:FMSConnector id="connector" >>/></mx:AddChild> >> <mx:AddChild><uic:SignOnForm id="signOnForm" >>connect="connector.connect(event)"/></mx:AddChild> >> </mx:State> >> <mx:State name="Main"> >> </mx:State> >> </mx:states> >> >>Which is simpler.
