I think you should use the datagrid id instead of "this" when you define
the listener:
myDataGrid.addEventListener("rowChange", customComponent);Tracy -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wcucsd Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 5:45 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Event dispatch question I have an application that contains a datagrid and a custom component. I want to notify the custom component that the user has changed rows in the grid. The application has some associated ActionScript. In the ActionScript, I setup the listener as follows: this.addEventListener("rowChange", customComponent); When the user does a mouseUp on the datagrid, I have it do this: function broadcastChange() { dispatchEvent({type: "rowChange"}); } And, in the custom component, I have this function: function rowChange() : Void { if (dataObject.hasNote() == true) detailViewNoteButton.enabled = true; else detailViewNoteButton.enabled = false; } The problem is that, while the dispatchEvent is called correctly, the custom component's rowChange function never gets called. Any ideas why? The custom component is declared as follows in the <mx:Application> MXML: <mx:Canvas id="topCanvas" width="100%" height="55%"> <CustomComponent id="customComponent" dataObject="{grid.selectedItem}" </mx:Canvas> It works fine if I make a local object the object listener instead of the custom component as in var listenerObject = new Object(); listenerObject.rowChange = function(event) { // handle event } this.addEventListener("rowChange", listenerObject); It's almost like the addEventListener doesn't know about the customComponent instance...
