It's exactly the same as a standard Event. As you can see in the Language
Reference (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/events/DynamicEvent.html):
var event:DynamicEvent = new DynamicEvent("credentialsChanged");
event.name = name;
event.passsword = password; // misspelling won't be caught!
dispatchEvent(event);
then..
module.addEventListener("credentialsChanged", myHandler);
The DynamicEvent class works exactly like and Event... it just gives
you the ability to add properties to it at runtime. If you're going
to be using the same event over and over again. You're better off
just creating a custom event
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=createevents_1.html#110674).
"If you do not identify an event in the class file with the [Event]
metadata tag, the MXML compiler generates an error if you try to use
the event name in MXML. Any component can register an event listener
for the event in ActionScript by using the addEventListener()method,
even if you omit the [Event] metadata tag."
