This brings up a question I had about events. Is there a way to send an event
all the way to the document class, no matter where it's been dispatche
the document class
receive an event directly sent from the "icon button"?
Thanks,

Additionally, you should take a look at what the code is doing.
Why does Bouncing Ball have to call something in the parent?
Is it some sort of notification? ("I've finished animating/I've hit a
wall!"). In which case an event is definitely the right solution.
Is it to gain information of some s

Yup - me too - in fact, in FlashDevelop, I have a nice event template in the
form of a code snippet for a new custom events I use all the time:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class extends Ev
Agreed on Option 3. Custom event inclusive of whatever kind of data you want
to send to the associated listening method. I think I whip up custom events
more than almost anything else.

My preference is usually option 3, using an event. It means you can use
your ball in other situations, where that "call" back to the root may or may
not be necessary. Regarding cleaning up references in event listeners, you
can use a "weak reference" when you call addEventListener(). Also, I oft
Option 3!
Always opt to use event based architecture. It promotes loose coupling of
your components. Although it might be a bit more code, you will be able to
use BouncingBall within many games, or other applications.

Hey, FlashCoders.
I'm wondering if you can help me out with a general style question that I
keep running into. Let's say I've got a setup like this...
class MyGame extends MovieClip
- It creates a "camera" sprite that I can add children into
- It then creates a "Bouncing Ball" object with t
