Can I define a custom class to be an AsBroadcaster in the classes constructor?

i.e.

```auto
            
class myClass{ 
     function myClass(){ 
        AsBroadcaster.initialize(this); 
     } 
} 
 

```

And if so will that give me the ability to addListeners to an instance of that class?

The reason I want this approach is because I want to broadcast events from inside one of the custom classes methods and I want a textField on the stage to be listening for that broadcast message.

If I can’t do what I want… does anyone know how I can accomplish what I need?

Cheers.
