Embarrassingly, yes.

Thanks :-)

Does UploadDialogEvent.SELECT_FILES evaluate to a string that has a
MouseEvent listener assigned to it?

 this.dispatchEvent(uiEvent);

 Which throws the following error:
 
 
 
 TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert

 However, the following code works just fine!
 
 
 
 private function publishButton_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
 
 {
 
 var publishDialogEvent:PublishDialogEvent = new
 PublishDialogEvent(PublishDialogEvent.PUBLISH,
passwordTextInput.text);
 
 this.dispatchEvent(publishDialogEvent);
 
 }
 
 
 
 Both UploadDialogEvent and PublishDialog event inherit from a custom
 UIEvent class (which just sets bubbling = true). So why does it work
 fine in one case and not in another case?!
 
 The only difference as far as I can see is that a custom parameter is
 passed through to the PublishDialogEvent - but why would that make a
 difference??
