This too, is valid:
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
However, that adds 3 methods to each class instance, thus every time you
create a new class instance or component, you now add more functions to
memory for each instance, and you run that initialize function every time
your class
It's fairly straightforward.. at least it is if what I'm about to show you
is what you want to know. In your class file follow this basic structure.
You'll need to import mx.events.EventDispatcher and add the three functions
at the bottom to any class you wish to broadcast from.
import mx.events.E
Crap, tired, forgot the import statement for the first example:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;

I can hit the first part; I'll leave the 2nd to someone else.
In Flash 8 and below, here's how you can tap into the framework using

Well, consider how an object can be manipulated.

myObject.foo = "bar";
or
var myObject:Object = new Object();
myObject["foo"] = "bar";
Those are equivalent syntaxes. Everything basically inherits from

yeah, that works, but you are calling the static create() method through the
name of the class itself. Say I have a number of classes (MyClass1,
MyOtherClass, AnotherClass) and I be able to alter which class to call the
create method on. I'm thinking there's got to be a way to do something

if you want to change your implementation later on? What if this
functionality changes with AS3? Without an API, you open yourself up
to all sorts of fun stuff that may force the user to have to change
their code later on.
If your component is based on AS2 class - just associate another mc
with it.
If not (as I suspect :) , I'd suggest to make a little/single SWF with only
this component and then decompile it with Flare or another tool.
You'll get an abstract code, but will be able to restore everything.
