You need to add your event listener to each of the components as they are created. Flex 1.5 doesn't have real bubbling support so you need to add the listener to each object. so you may need to iterate through the array and add a listener to each item in there. Matt

These Components are basically a Container that holds a few form elements. if one of these components dispatches an event how would i set up the parent page to listen for the dispatched event? I have been able to successfully capture an event when i utilize the "id" attribute of the component but because its an array of objects in this case i cannot do that. for instance i cannot do this.. thing.addEventListener("eventThrown", Delegate.create(this, onEvent)); Ive tried referencing the Repeater that generates the Array of Objects but that does not detect the event.. I know this wouldn't be a problem in 2.x but I am unable to get the parent to detect the thrown event in 1.5. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Dave
