i have one swf (swf A) in which i instantiate one class and listen for an event from that class.  
i hear that event normally in swf A.  
now this swf A is loaded into another swf (swf B).  
i was wondering how could i hear for that event in swf B?  
do i need to redispatch event?  
can that bubling feature help?  
(i have set bubling to true but i am not hearing anything)

I know i can listen for that event in swf B if i get a reference in swf B to that class from swf A, but that doesnt seem right to me.
