I've just moved from CS3, that I'd been happily using for a few years to CS5
(so we can target FP10) and it seems to me to be a massive step backwards in

Yes, a little painful -
That would be nice to have it auto open in a second monitor. I think they are

You'll want to learn how to create custom events and pass data with
those. With a custom event, you can have it contain any amount and form
of data. The custom events we use in our internal development framework
all have a public data property with a type wildcard *, but you can
specify more

Custom events are usually overkill. The issue is not what event, but
what the listener knows about the object that it happened to.
Most often, the listener can simply access a property of the class that
it lies in instead of using some complicated custom event solution.
The event object

You must at the very least give the parameter a value. A null reference

If I understand you correctly, Henrik, I disagree. Custom events are

If you had googled your error message 1046: Type was not found or was not a

A 1046 error is a very common error message, seasoned developers already

I'd vote for that one. His questions were legit, he doesn't need

Second that. Jason, you somehow neglected to mention that you are one

and then just call the function directly, without creating a new Event
