How do I send an even from an embeded swf and receive it from the class that called it?
Code the dispatches from account_settings.swf file.
Code:
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(CustomEvent.ACCOUNT_INFO, {theData:pipeSize.selectedItem.data}));
Code that embeds the item and listens for event
Code:
[Embed(source="/assets/account_settings.swf")]
private var _accountSettingsClass:Class;
var _accountSettings:MovieClip = new _accountSettingsClass as MovieClip;
_window.addChild(_accountSettings);
_accountSettings.addEventListener(CustomEvent.ACCOUNT_INFO, getInfo);
(the CustomEvent is just a class that extends the Event and allows me to pass information back and forth with the event)
