Thanks Darin for your input, i would like to ask some further
questions on your suggestions.(appreciate your help).
> this.addEventListener(MouseEventType.CLICK, myClickFunction);
you mean MouseEvent.CLICK?
> this.parent.addEventListener("myEvent", someFunction);
I'm sure thats a compile error (compiler will say "cant
find 'somefunction' etc").
'someFunction' lives in this.parent (actually this.parentDocument if
you take my original question)
> dispatchEvent({type:"myEvent", val1:"hello"});
> dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent));
but what about my 'val1' value ("hello");
The docs don't give enough info
