Re: [flexcoders] Bubbling custom events

[Scott - FastLane]

Don -

In the constructor for your custom event you can set the bubbles param 
when you call super as in the following example.

  import flash.events.Event;
  import mx.controls.CheckBox;

  public class CheckBoxListEvent extends Event
  {
     public var data:Object;
     public var checkBox:CheckBox;
    
     public function CheckBoxListEvent(type:String, dataObj:Object, 
targetCheckBox:CheckBox)
     {
        super(type, true);
        data = dataObj;
        checkBox = targetCheckBox;
     }
  }

Hello everyone,

I think the following question is an easy one, however, I can not
seem to find an answer in the documents.

Calling a standard event such as the following

var myEventObj:Event = new CustomEventEvent( "myCustomEvent" );

Will not bubble unless I set the bubble property to true like this

var myEventObj:Event = new CustomEventEvent( "myCustomEvent", true );

How do I allow for bubbling when I call a custom event?

What do I need to change in my event actionscript code to send this
back to my super Event class.

Thanks for the help

Don
