Well, here's a simple example that demonstrates. See how the Button is
contained by the application? This means that the button is a child of
the application in the hierarchy, which means bubbling should go up to
the application. So a bubbling event will reach the application, and I
have an event listener added to the application. Voila, everything
works.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical creationComplete=addMeListeners()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import com.me.MeEvent;
private function addMeListeners():void
{
this.addEventListener(MeEvent.REMOTE, meHandler);
}
private function meHandler(event:MeEvent):void
{
out.text += event\n;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button label=click click=dispatchEvent(new
MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE)) /
mx:TextArea id=out /
/mx:Application
Even if I add more containers around the button the bubbling still
works.
mx:VBox
mx:Panel
mx:Button label=click
click=dispatchEvent(new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE)) /
/mx:Panel
/mx:VBox
That's about it!

Am I doing something wrong because my event listeners aren't triggering
anything... the code is all
the way at the bottom.
If you have a moment. Thanks

If you're using UIComponents then it should work, the events should

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.

Is the whole parent hierarchy DisplayObjects? Bubbling will only go
through UI objects, if you had something that didn't extend
DisplayObject in there it won't bubble up (all of the Flex visual
components are DisplayObjects)

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
