You should always specify both the name and the type in [Event] metadata.
You're getting an error because you didn't specify the correct type. It is flash.events.Events. (Note the s on events and the capitalize E on Event.) - Gordon ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of malik_robinson Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 6:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Getting Error: Event Type 'flash.event:event' is unavailable ????? Hi, I guess a better question is when do I use : [Event(name="eventName")] as opposed to: [Event(name="eventName",type="flash.event.event")] (this gives me that error in my original post ) Thanks --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "malik_robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I am getting this error: > > Event Type 'flash.event:event' is unavailable > > I have this function in my "Services.mxml" file: > > private function loginUser_result( event:ResultEvent ) : void { > > > > dispatchEvent( new Event("userAuthenticated") ); > > > > } > > Then in my main MXML file I have: > > <ds:SupportService id="svc" > > userAuthenticated="mx.controls.Alert.show('Your are now Logged > In');" > > /> > > Any idea on why I may get this error? > > Thanks > > Malik >
