Thanks Greg! I actually just found this myself a few minutes before your reply, but thanks for your effort nevertheless. The Flex way is much easier and better to use, than Flash - it just takes a little getting used to. My deepest thank you's to everybody on this list, that continually help me out :) Regards, Mike

Mike, I can not say for certain if the following will be of assistance. However, based on your very concise description, it appears to corroborate what you have observed. The following is from page 16 in the PDF document "Migrating Applications to Flex 2": Step 4: Update events The Event model changed in Flex 2. However, you can migrate most event handlers with minimal effort. This section describes the most popular changes that you must make to your event handling code. ... Remove delegates You are no longer required to wrap a listener function with a Delegate to maintain application scope. You can remove the Delegate from the following line: b1.addEventListener("click", mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,myListener)); So the line appears as follows: b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myListener); I personally have found portions of the "Migrating Applications to Flex 2" critically important. For reasons I do not know, this critical doc is available as PDF only. Personally I would like to see this doc included in the HTML browsable versions of the documents, and especially up on LiveDocs where search engines could index it. That all said, the direct link for downloading the PDF version is: http://www.adobe.com/go/flex2_migrating_pdf I just pulled the download link from the main Flex 2 Documentation page at: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ hth, g On 1/5/07, Mike Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is this now gone? I am trying to add an EventListener to a Control that doesn't reside locally to the main application. With that said, I need to use the Delegate Class in order to specify the proper scope. In Flex 1.5 as well as Flash, I would have coded my function similar to this: private function addEventListener():void { myControl.addEventListener("change", mx.utils.Delegate.create (this, onControlChange)); } private function onControlChange( event:Event ):void { // Change code goes here } Of course, the compiler knows nothing of the Delegate class and I get a compile error - This question also relates to my previous post, and I am hitting a major brick wall with this scoping stuff. I had this down to a science with all the Flash Applications I wrote in the past... I am getting a tad frustrated, trying to port all my AS 2.0 code, to the new Flex environment. Even Flex 1.5 had the Delegate Class - so Flex 2.0 must have done away with it??? If so, how am I supposed to scope my functions??? Thanks in advance for all your help, Mike
