It is dispatched like this (in function in my controller):
dispatchEvent(new GetNewsEvent(GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT, null,
false, false));
the null is used for an object (if I need to pass data with my event).
In this particular case I did not.
My actual event class looks like:
package Flexb.events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class GetNewsEvent extends Event
{
protected var _data:Object;
public static const GET_NEWS_EVENT:String="GetNewsEventType";
public function GetNewsEvent( type:String, data:Object = null,
bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false ):void
{
_data = data;
super(GET_NEWS_EVENT,true,false);
}
public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}
}
}
