There is probably an easier way to do this, but I could not find a way
to fire an event that bubbles down stream from a DisplayObject, i.e.
fire an event on all child objects, not parent objects, so I wrote
this function and it seems to work. Again please tell me if there is
a more correct way to do this...
public function
fireChildEventMatch(currentTarget:DisplayObject,eventName:String):void {
var currentTargetUI:DisplayObjectContainer = currentTarget as
DisplayObjectContainer;
if(currentTargetUI != null) {
if(currentTargetUI.hasEventListener(eventName) == true) {
currentTarget.dispatchEvent(new Event(eventName));
// Alert.show("found event match: "+currentTarget.name);
}
for(var i:int=0; i < currentTargetUI.numChildren; i++) {
var currentChild:DisplayObject =
currentTargetUI.getChildAt(i);
fireChildEventMatch(currentChild,eventName);
}
}
}
The function is called like this:
fireChildEventMatch(this,"myEvent");
in place of "this" you can put parent, ParentAppliation.bla, or some
other id, etc.
