If an event "bubbles" you can listen for it in any ancestor, like Application.application.
Look at the docs for the timer event, to se if if bubbles. If it does not, in the timer component, re-dispatch an event, setting the second argument to true, to make it bubble.

Is it possible to have a Timer in one component and have another component execute a function when that timer fires ? eg: Comp1 has a timer set for 3 seconds .. In Comp2 I want to 'capture' the TimerEvent.TIMER from Comp1 to execute a function defined in Comp2.. --- I currently have something working but I kinda feel its just not the right way .. :) .. In Comp2 I have Application.application.ti.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,fired); where 'ti' is the Timer . Is there a better way to listen for the event ? Thanks
