Responding to events

Question

I have a component that does this
dispatchEvent( new Event( "fooChange" ) );
in <mx:Application creationComplete="init()">
I do this
private function init() : void {
addEventListener( "fooChange", handleChange );
But handleChange() never gets called. What am I
missing[/b}

Answer 1

I'm assuming that your component is dispatching the event.
You're adding the event listener to the application but if
your component
is dispatching the event you must register your handler with
the component.
You should be doing:
myComponent.addEventListener("fooChange",handleChange);
