Inside the FLA, on the particular symbol in question, I have
dispatchEvent(new Event("movieClipStopped", true, true)); This is
supposed to bubble up as far as it can go.
On the flex app I have registered to listen for that event, to do
something as simple as putting a break point there.
Nothing happens. So is there another way of registering for this
event that I am not getting?
Also keep in mind, this symbol is embedded via the [Embed] tag rather
than just the swf. Does this play a part? I am really hoping this is
a simple matter of some syntax since you say it is possible.
Thanks,
