The Flex 2 Evant class is no longer dynamic, so you can't add your own information to it any more.
You need to subclass Event to make your own custom event, to which you can add your custom data. This is pretty easy, and there is an example in the docs: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001644.html Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of trk247 Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 1:05 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Event Variables Using Flex 2.0 - I have a child MXML document that has a custom event like this: child.MXML <mx:Metadata> [Event("selectionChanged")] </mx:Metadata> function someFunction() { dispatchEvent(new Event("selectionChanged", {x:something.x, y:something.y}); } Now I'm trying to get the values of x and y back into the main.MXML file. I did create a selectionChanged class and Overrided the inherited clone() method like explained here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001644.html. <http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001644.html.> This would have been the old way: <something selectionChanged="getRestaurantListByArea(event.x, event.y);"/> but in Flex 2.0, it gives an error. Any help appreciated.
