A single event class being used for multiple events is common within
the Flex Framework; why recommend not re-using the same type?
Back to the problem:
Are you sure that your event class extends flash.events.Event ? I
might expect odd errors if not.
Have you tried running the code in debug mode to see what is going on;
maybe isolate the line which causing the error.

*Subject:* [flexcoders] Another 1034 - events and event types
I have a few MXML components that provide reusable pickers for things
like date ranges. I also nest these components.
Is it OK to reuse event types like "change" and "activate", but
associated with different event classes?
For that matter must an event type always be associated with one class?
I dispatching non-bubbling events from these components, and set up
the meta-info as expected:
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="activate",type="com.companyname.appname.event.picker.DateRangePickerEvent")]
</mx:Metadata>
and use them like this:
<picker:DateRangePicker
activate="onActivateDateRangePicker(event)"
/>
I'm occasionally getting an error like this:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.events::ev...@f4130d1 to
com.companyname.appname.event.picker.DateRangePickerEvent.
Who would be trying to cast an event to my type? Changing the event
type to "activatePicker" seems to be helping, but I'd rather not have
a proliferation.
