Do I need to fire an event in main menu component (mainmenu.mxml), but how do I capture that the event has been fired in the main application (main.mxml)? I know that you can use addEventListener(), but all the examples I've seen assign the addEventListener() method to a component, I don't I want my main.mxml file to register to listen for the event I fire off in the main menu? Can anyone point out what I'm missing? THanks
