44 Creating Custom Events

Now you create an instance of the class by using the static constant, as the following example

shows for the MyButtonConst custom component:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Button xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

click="dispatchEvent(new

EnableChangeEventConst(EnableChangeEventConst.ENABLE_CHANGED));">

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[

import myEvents.EnableChangeEventConst;

]]>

</mx:Script>

<mx:Metadata>

[Event(name="myEnable", type="myEvents.EnableChangeEventConst")]

</mx:Metadata>

</mx:Button>

This technique does not preclude you from passing a string to the constructor.
