  I'm still confused about custom event. I have search many many sample but it's still make me don't get it. I like the sample that you have above, but I don't know which code will act as document class. Thus, in the part ..."dispatchEvent("new MyCustomEvent("Hello....")); >> it's still the same class with the myCustomEvent class or other new class??
  Oh yeah, this custom Event can do something like accessing other movieclip object that have linkage with a class, can it?

  Dear Purwanto
  
  Thanks for ur comment.
  
  The following code need to write where you want to call the event. first u need to import the custom event class. then u need to call the dispatchEvent method to call ur custom event. This is not a part of myCustomEvent Class. Here you just using the myCustomEvent class. :)
  **************
  import wneeds.events.myCustomEvent; //import ur class here
  dispatchEvent(new myCustomEvent("Hello ...")); // call your custom event.
  *******************
  
  To track the event in any where of ur code u need to put the following code:
  **********
  addEventListener("myCustomEvent", showMessage);
  function showMessage(e:myCustomEvent):void {
  trace(e.myMessage);
  }
  *********************
  I'm not clear about your last question. Do you want to call a event from a movieclip and receive the event from main timeline?

  Not from the timeline, but receive event from other class (that linkaged by a movieclip). Example, from first class after finished some tween, I want to control other movieclip that do something. To do that, I want to access other class from the first class. After access that class, I can control that Movieclip.

  Hi,
  great tutorial, i got it so far working as i can send the one var back to e.myMessage
  
  But when i try you example line with multi values , i get stuck and only get erros.
  
  can you make a example how the myCustomEvent class needs to look if i
  dipatch this message.:
  dispatchEvent(new myCustomEvent({Amode:'tma',SID:this.SID,MYID:this.MYID,PRID:this.PRID,TYP:this.TYP}));
  
  where SID, MYID,PRID,TYP are all byte arrays.
  Best regards Oliver

  Dear Oliver,
  
  Thanks for ur comment.
  
  Have u changed at myCustomEvent ? in myCustomEvent class i have set the type of myMessage as string. But you are passing the message as object. So its need to change the myMessage as Object or u can set * for any type.
  
  package wneeds.events{
  
  import flash.events.Event;
  
  public class myCustomEvent extends Event {
  
  public var myMessage:*;
  
  public function myCustomEvent(msg) {
  
  super("myCustomEvent");
  myMessage = msg;
  }
  }
  }
  
  Try it . i think it should work.
