[flexcoders] right way to bubble 'show' event in nested viewstacks

[Derrick Anderson]

hi,

i have a tabnavigator in a viewstack, my tabnavigator children control a
menu parented by the main application.  the 'show' event is what i'm using
to setup the menu.

so that means that each time the outer viewstack changes, i need to pass the
'show' event down to the current item in the inner viewstack.  this is how
i've been doing it, on each child of the outer viewstack, i add this.

        public function onCreationComplete():void
        {

ViewLocator.getInstance().register(Constants.EMPLOYEES_VIEW,this);
            *this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.SHOW,bubbleShowEvent);*
        }
        *private function bubbleShowEvent(event:FlexEvent):void
        {
            employeesTabNavigator.selectedChild.dispatchEvent(new
FlexEvent(FlexEvent.SHOW));
        }

*there must be a better way of doing this, maybe?

thanks,
d.
