Hi Paul ,
I'm not 100% sure about this but ..
How about ..
Application.application.addEventListener(..) ?
This should get caught if the Event bubbles ( bubbles = true ) .. If
not then you can
specify a specific listener and then re-dispatch the event with bubbles
= true ..
eg:
function catchEvent(e:Event)
{
var myE:Event = new Event(e,true);
dispatch(myE);
}
