This metadata makes it available in mxml:
[Event(name="userSubmit", type="events.UserEvents")]
But the syntax UserEvents.USER_SUBMIT requires a contant in that class:
public class UserEvents extends Event
{
public static const USER_SUBMIT:String = "userSubmit";
Using a constant like that just ensures you won't misspell "userSubmit".

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Custom Components and Custom
Events
This is the entire UserEvents class as the example showed me how to build
it. I'm guessing that the declaration for my event is supposed to be in
here, but in the demo we actually created it in the component we were
loading. How and where do I add it to the UserEvents class and why does it
work when I call it from MXML but not from AS?
//File: UserEvents.as
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import vo.User;
public class UserEvents extends Event
{
public var user:User;
public function UserEvents(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
//Script Code from Component
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="userSubmit", type="events.UserEvents")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import vo.User;
import events.UserEvents;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
private function onClick():void {
var event:UserEvents = new
UserEvents("userSubmit");
var user:User = new User();
user.fname = fname.text;
user.lname = lname.text;
user.email = email.text;
event.user = user;
dispatchEvent(event);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
