RE: [flexcoders] Custom event & inheritance

[Matt Chotin]

All [Event] metadata is inherited by the subclass so you shouldn’t have any problems.  But you can’t dispatch the event, you have to have it declared on the class definition for MXML to pick it up.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of svktiilikainen Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 1:48 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Custom event & inheritance   Hi all, how should a custom event be used in subclasses? I have a custom event specified in the prototype of an AS class, say ScrollSelectList. Now I want to use the event in an instance of a subclass of ScrollSelectList, say DataGrid. If I just write something like <mx:DataGrid id="myGrid" event-name="function-name">, 'event-name' being the event to catch, Flex throws an error "unknown attribute 'event-name' on myGrid". The event handling works just fine when used in the parent (ScrollSelectList) class instance. Should the event be declared somehow for subclass as well?
