Hi!

In AS2, i built my own EventDispatcher which was able to dispatch events in different classes. When I added an eventListener, the method needed 3 parameters: event, listenerObject, listener

now AS3 got its own EventDispatcher, however, when you add an EventListener, it only requires two arguments: event and a function. But what do I do when I need to call a function that is placed in a other class? Is there no way to call method of other classes with the EventDispatcher Class?

Thanks a lot!
