I think you will need to perform a cast to access the properties of your AuthenticateEvent instance (this is why you got a compiler error). The cast is achieved as follows:
var authenticateEvent : AuthenticateEvent = AuthenticateEvent( event ); So your command's execute function will look like this: public function execute (event : CairngormEvent):void { if( !CruiseModelLocator.getInstance().authenticated ) { var delegate : LoginDelegate = new LoginDelegate( this ); // Do a cast var authenticateEvent : AuthenticateEvent = AuthenticateEvent( event ); // Now extract your login details var loginName = authenticateEvent.loginName; var password = authenticateEvent.password; // Pass details to your delegate delegate.doLogin(loginName, password); } else { Alert.show( "Logged In already!" ); return; } } I hope this solves your problem, but feel free to post again if you are unfamiliar with casting and need more explanation.
