Got it...thx Mike. Forgive the subject-line creep but now I need to
add a listener in a parent of the class dispatching the event. The
subcomponent is derieved from UIComponent...shouldn't it's events
bubble by default? Or perhaps my listener syntax is off:
addEventListener("isGreaterChanged", isGreaterChangedHandler)
Am getting no errors just no hits at the parent's event handler method.
thx again
