Hi Dave, Are you getting an error with the addEventListener() call, or are you just not able to detect the event? The call looks correct so I don't see why that wouldn't work. Also, if you are creating your components in mxml with <mx:Repeater>, you should be able to define the event handler in the declaration with eventThrown="myCompEventThrown(event.target)". Maybe you could post some code illustrating the problem.
