Dispatch event from class to movieclip

programming flash
1

In frame 1 of my AS2 .swf:


import com.classes.ParseXML;
var xml:ParseXML = new ParseXML("xml/site.xml");
 
xml.addEventListener("Finished", this.init)
 
function init(){
// run init
}

After I run through a few functions in that class I would like to dispatch an event to the swf like I did in AS2:


//ParseXML class
 
//declaring variables and such
private static var evtDisDependancy = EventDispatcher.initialize(ParseXML.prototype);
 
//inside some function
this.dispatchEvent({type:"Finished"})

Now, apparently a lot has changed in AS3. Could someone please explain to me how I would dispatch this same type of event in AS3 … or if there is new logic that I need to learn?

Thank you!
