All right, so i got it to work
added this in
Application.application.addEventListener("Capture",ok);
so that works fine, but when i do useCapture to true, then nothing
works so what i am trying to get to is when would
i actually set the useCapture to true. I just want to understand in
what kind of scenario would i capture that event.
if anyone could just do a quick example that would help me alot.
Thanks

Because your canvas is listening to itself and not the
application.

You have to listen to the app or higher up in order to
capture so you'll have clean up issues regardless. You can use weak
reference listeners if you can't clean up synchronously.

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

yes, but why do it in capture phase, why not just listen to
the app?
Show us how you're doing it.

Thanks,
i looked but i still can't get it to work. is it only used for mouse and focus
events
or say can i dispatch an event in the main application and have a sub
componenet of that application capture that event
Main Application-
Dispatch "capturePhaseTest" ;
--
Component
--- SubComponent-
-Listen for the "capturePhaseTest" that was dispatched by the
application

Look in our source code for stage.addEventListe ner, or in
the FocusManager.

useCapture(event)
I am pretty puzzled to how the useCapture works in the addEventListner, i
tried reading and i think i understand what it does but i never found an
example
of it in action or what it could be used for. so can anyone enlighten
me
