Thanks Matt but i got one more problem. i'm not going into the logonHandler function.
relevant code- private function showWindow(modal:Boolean):void { var logonWindow:LogonWindow = new LogonWindow(); logonWindow.addEventListener("logon", logonHandler); PopUpManager.popUpWindow(logonWindow, this, modal); PopUpManager.centerPopUp(logonWindow); } public function logonHandler(event:LogonEvent):void { status.text="You entered userId: " + event.userId + " password: " + event.password; } --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Matt Chotin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry, looks like we screwed up the explorer and it should have included > this: > > package > { > import flash.events.Event; > > public class LogonEvent extends flash.events.Event > { > > public var userId : String; > public var password : String; > > public function LogonEvent(_userId:String, _password:String) > { > super("logon"); > userId = _userId; > password = _password; > } > > } > } > > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of bhaq1972 > Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 8:21 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] getting a compile error running the 'custom event' > flex 2 example > > Hi > I just copied and pasted the 'Events/ Using a Custom Event Class' > example from the following link > http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flex_samples/flex_explorer/explorer.htm l > > into flex builder2 but i get the compile error "Type annotation is not > a compile-time constant: LogonEvent" in my test flex app. > > its the following line > > public function logonHandler(event:LogonEvent):void > > i suppose it doesnt know what a LogonEvent is. > what am i missing ? i only copied and pasted the whole demo. > > > > > > > -- > Flexcoders Mailing List > FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt > Search Archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com > Yahoo!
