Alex,
I thought that might be the case, but when I use
owner.dispatchEvent(myCustomEventInstance,true) from within my
itemRenderer, and I have previously added an event listener to my
ComboBox, no event is broadcast from my ComboBox.

only go to SystemManager - WHY?????
Popups have to float over "everything" so they are parented by
SM and not the CB or the app. If you dispatch the event off the
"owner" it will go to the CB and bubble up from there

Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox ItemRenderer Custom Events only

I've been remiss in addressing my less-than-perfect
understanding of
Events and event bubbling.
My custom itemRenderer needs to fire a custom event. I've spent
the last
day trying to get it to bubble up from my custom itemRenderer to
the
ComboBox, but no dice. If I add an eventListener in my ComboBox,
it does
not receive the event. However when I use
systemManager.addEventListener("myCustomEvent",myHandler),
suddenly I
can receive the event.
Is this the expected behavior? Why?
