RE: [flexcoders] Event Propogation - how to bubble up through components??
If you're using UIComponents then it should work, the events should
bubble.

Matt:
I'm adding UIComponents to the display list - I guess that wouldn't work
this way.
What's the best way to propagate a method to UIComponents?
Can I just create new UIObjects and add them as children to my display
list or do I have to create class files
and extend my classes that way?
As you see I'm relatively new to flex and I thank you for your time.

I'm using bubbling, or at least i think i am to capture an event...
I've extended the event class to make my own event mechanism. the
events are being dispatched, however the problem is, that
I'm adding an event listener to my custom mxml component to receive
the events and nothing happens. I've probably got something
backwards...
Isn't there a way to listen to events from the parent document?
Doesn't bubbling set to true allow the event
to be captured by any component in the order that they are created?
my code is as follows:
var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE,true);
dispatchEvent(evt);
---
package com.me
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class MeEvent extends Event
{
public static const REMOTE:String = remote;
public var realTarget:*;
public function MeEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
--
And inside my custom component this is the event listener.
private function init():void{
this.addEventListener(MeEvent.REMOTE, handleEvent);
}
Thanks for your time,
Patrick
