Bubbling is helpful, because it decouples the structure of your components from the structure of your eventhandling. EG. an event emitter like a button can be nested into multiple containers but still the top container is able to receive the event.
Another nice example for bubbling is loading of swfs at runtime. Your loaded swfs don't need to know the structure of the loading party, but still are able to dispatch some event to a controller like component on top of it. But you have to be careful when using bubbling. The decoupling only works with one receiver. If you add listeners in between the emitter and the receiver, you are fixing this structure and the decoupling is gone. Cheers, Ralf.
