But all those things I can do with normal events, I guess.
I was simply showing you a simple example of how you would have a custom class
broadcast a custom event... normally you would not use normal events like the
mouse event kind for that kind of situation.

Thanks Jason... Let me ask one question to try to clarify this for me. If I
have the dispatchEvent
An event is just a message object. Just because one gets created
successfully does not mean it is being delivered. dispatchEvent() is a
method of the EventDispatcher class, which is a superclass of many classes,
including DisplayObject. You need to listen for the event (with
addEventListener())

Thanks Ross and Jason!
Now I understand this.
But I am trying to imagine when I would use a custom event.
I have no idea?
Could you give an example?
Kind regards

To add on to David's fine reply, Ross, you're close, but not quite - this is
how I write custom events, I think you'll want to do something like this
instead
Jason: This is all simplified, advanced coders would use some design
patterns or frameworks to handle all this, but you get the idea.

Hi,
I use custom events to pass data around - here is a simple example:
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class GameEvent extends Event
{
public var score:int;
public static const GAME_OVER:String = Game Over;
public function
I use custom events mostly when I have data to pass through the event which
doesn't fit nicely into some pre-defined one. For instance, we have a
HighScoreEvent which has the number of points and the time it took to finish
the game.
Also, it is good practice to define your own Event subclass(es)
