You can use weak reference listeners if you can't clean up synchronously. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Sherif Abdou Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 10:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] useCapture(event) cause wouldn't that be tightly coupling it if i do this.Application. application. addEventListener (......). i thought this was bad but i am still new to flex i figured if i but a web service in the main application then when it is loaded, the subcomponent could capture that the service is ready and use that data from it ---Main Application( webService here) --Component -SubComponent( need info from the web service to populate its own), ---Component -subcomponent ---sub subcomponent( this also needs to get the webservice stuff); I hope i made sense ----- Original Message ---- From: Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 4, 2007 10:59:41 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] useCapture(event) yes, but why do it in capture phase, why not just listen to the app?
