Flex 3 and loaded swf event dispatch

Problem: There is an mxml application and it loads an other (external) swf (mxml) application. How can I dispatch an event form the loaded app to the main app?



Solution:

Loaded.mxml:

This function is binded to a button click in my example:

private function sendevent(event:MouseEvent):void

{

this.parent.dispatchEvent(new Event("clicked"));

}

Main.mxml:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[

public var loadedSM:SystemManager;

private function loadComplete(event:Event):void

{

loadedSM = SystemManager(loaded.content);

loadedSM.addEventListener(FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE, loadedAppComplete);

}

private function loadedAppComplete(event:Event):void

{

loadedSM.addEventListener("clicked", clickhandler);

}

private function clickhandler(event:Event):void

{

Alert.show("Voila!", "yess");

}

]]>

</mx:Script>

<mx:SWFLoader x="10" y="40" source="Loaded.swf" width="206" height="126" id="loaded"
complete="loadComplete(event)"/>

</mx:Application>
