ok, this is how my app is setup....
:: app.mxml :: has a: xmlns:controller="Flexb.controller.*" <controller:FlexbController/> That is how my controller is instantiated. :: FlexbController.as :: public class FlexbController extends UIComponent in my constructor I have: addEventListener( FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onInit ); then in my onInit function I have: systemManager.addEventListener( GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT, handler_GetNewsEvent ); along with a call to another function: getNewsData(); (this one is called without issue). In that function I dispatch the custom event in question: dispatchEvent(new GetNewsEvent(GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT, null, false, false)); So when dispatch it should go to a handler function called "handler_GetNewsEvent". And it is that event handler that never seems to be processed. I had a trace statement that never seems to show. And in that function there are some remoting calls that I never see happening in service capture. And that is where my app seems to fail. dnk On 24-May-08, at 9:09 PM, Alex Harui wrote: > > Who’s dispatching and how? > > > > When does the control get instantiated?
