Dispatching an Event in the Child and listen for in the Parent

programming flash
1

Hello everybody

I have a dialogBox with 2 buttons - ok_btn and cancel_btn. The code is in a Class - testDialog.

There are 2 issues:[LIST=1]
[]When any of the 2 buttons clicked, they dismiss the dialogBox without sending any alert to the parent (main time-line).
[]How to trap the clicked buttonId in the parent.
[/LIST]I have just an idea of the solution as dispatching an event in the child and listen for that event in the parent. But, unfortunately, I don’t know how to go about it.

To make my point clear, here is the code:

 
package 
{
 import flash.display.*;
 import flash.events.*;
 public class TestDialog extends MovieClip 
 { 
  private var _btnSelected: String = "";
 
  public function TestDialog()
  {
   addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
  }
  private function init(e: Event): void
  {   
   ok_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickHandler);   
   cancel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickHandler);
 
   removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);   
  }
  private function ClickHandler(e: MouseEvent): void
  {
trace("e.target.name: " + e.target.name);
   _btnSelected = e.target.name;
   parent.removeChild(this);
  }
 
  public function get BtnClicked(): String
  {
   return _btnSelected;
  }
 
  public function set BtnClicked(_str: String): void
  {
   _btnSelected = _str;
  }  
 }
}

The code in my FLA follows here:

 
var mc: TestDialog = new TestDialog();
addChild(mc);
//Here is my intention to do:
/*
if (btnClicked == ok_btn)
 proceed();
*/

I will highly appreciate a help, with some added code, to resolve this issue.
