I thought I had understood the event model, but apparently not. I have a custom class that extends EventDispatcher, let's call it MyClass. This class will periodically dispatch a custom event based on a timer and some condition.
In my main app, I instantiate an instance of this class. I also create an event listener at the application level. Here's the problem: * If I use dispatchEvent(...) inside MyClass, the event listener in the main app never fires (the custom event *is* set to bubble) * The only way it will work is if I use the application object, ie mx.core.Application.application.dispatchEvent(...) But I don't understand why I have to do this? I have used a similar model just fine when dispatching events from inside components (ie I use dispatchEvent and my custom event is heard at the app level via bubbling). Can someone help me understand this?
