So here is the situation,

I have a SendData class that sends form info to a php script. It is a static class that does not extend anything.

I want to be able to dispatch an event if there is an error, or when it gets info back from the server. I have a custom event class that I have been using to dispatch events like this, but I have only used that in displayObject extended classes.

The problem is, it seems like something has to be a displayObject based class to dispatch events. I know there must be a way to do this, but I’m having trouble finding it in searches.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
