RE: [flexcoders] Need to add EventListener at the Application level

[Gordon Smith]

This works for a "click" event because it's a bubbling event that will "bubble up" the parent chain all the way to the Application. It wouldn't work for a "change" event, which is non-bubbling. However you can use the "capture phase" of event processing to give the Application a crack at an event. If you register an event handler with addEventListener() and pass true as the useCapture parameter, then the event processing will start at the Application (well, actually at the SystemManager) and go DOWN the parent chain to the target object.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Sreenivas R Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 7:51 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Need to add EventListener at the Application level   Here is a sample I wrote quicky.

Is there also a way to tell dynamically WHICH component has sent this event - for example TabNavigator, ViewStack etc... ? Hope my question was clear.
