[flexcoders] custom event not added

[dnk]

Hi there,

I have a controller that is adding my custom event listeners, but for  
some reason my event handler was not being fired.

My original code was (snippet):


(in controler)

//constructor
public function FlexbController()
                {
                        //turn the key, start it up....
                        addEventListener( FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onInit );
                }

private function onInit( event:Event ):void
                {
                        //setup event listeners
                        /*systemManager is where event listener hangs out 
defines the  
relationship between event and handler*/
                        
                        systemManager.addEventListener( 
GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT,  
handler_GetNewsEvent );
                        systemManager.addEventListener( 
AddNewsEvent.ADD_NEWS_EVENT,  
handler_AddNewsEvent );
                         
systemManager.addEventListener( NewsDataLoadedEvent.NEWS_LOADED_EVENT,  
handler_NewsLoadedEvent );
                        getNewsData();
                        
                }

And I had trace statements in all of my handlers... this is how i  
noticed things were not working as they should.

SO I added a simple check like (in my FlexbController constructor):

if (systemManager.addEventListener( GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT,  
handler_GetNewsEvent ))
                        {
                                trace("true");
                        } else {
                                trace("false");
                        }


And I obviously am getting "false".

Ideas?
