Re: [flexcoders] Talking Components

[Jeremy Lu]

Surely it can.

You can create a MyEvent class which extends Event then add in as many
properties you want (something like "data"), there's a fine example in
the manual about creating custom event.

When you need to broadcast event from one component to another, just use:

comp.dispatchEvent( MyEvent("someEvent", myDataObject) );

this should do the trick.

            I have a Flex app with two custom components.   What is the best way
for these two components to talk to each other.  Pass a reference of
one component to the other, databinding, or event broadcast to each other?

I basically have one component that is a list of ID/Names, when I
double click, I want the other component to get the ID and retrieve
the extended data from the DB.   My data is not stored in the
main.mxml application.   I know in Flash you would use event
listeners, but can the event listeners in Flex also send data?  The
examples I have seen broadcast a message, but they don't seem to send
data like Flash dispatch events would.
