I think what you're looking for is a Singleton class that extends
EventDispatcher which only purpose is to be able to add listeners
to and dispatch events upon.
package com.muzakdeezign.mvc.managers {
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
public class SystemEventManager extends EventDispatcher {
private static var __instance:SystemEventManager = null;
public function SystemEventManager() {
if(__instance != null) {
throw new Error("Instance of SystemManager already exists. Use
SystemManager.getInstance()");
}
}
public static function getInstance():SystemEventManager {
if(__instance == null ) {
__instance = new SystemEventManager();
}
return __instance;
}
}
}
//from anywhere in your app:
import com.muzakdeezign.mvc.managers.SystemEventManager;
SystemEventManager.getInstance().addEventListener("someEvent",
someEventHandler);
//and somewhere else in your app
SystemEventManager.getInstance().dispatchEvent(new Event("someEvent"));
Make sense?
regards,
Muzak

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Events and Non-Display Objects
Jehanzeb - first, thank you for the detailed response! I really
appreciate it.
In the code you provided, the CustomEventDispatcher was instantiated
within the mx:Application object. So from what I've seen, yes
Application will be able to hear CustomEventDispatcher's events.
However, my sitation is more like:
Application
|
|------>ContainerC->ContainerD
|
|------>ContainerA->Custom AS class not in display
list->CustomEventDispatcher.
And I want CustomEventDispatcher's event to be heard by Container D.
Right now I have my listener on Application, and then Application is
calling a method on ContainerC, which is then calling a method on
ContainerD. This seems to be ugly and bad form.
