Dispatching event on behalf of non display objects

1

This happens to be a really difficult question to ask. And maybe the answer is terribly simple and I have simply overlooked it. Happens all the time. Anyway…

Say you have a non-visual class (one that does not reside on the display list). This custom class, thru composition, will have a property that is a visual class that DOES reside on the display list. This custom class will also implement IEventDispatcher. So how do I do this:


public class MyNonVizClass implements IEventDispatcher
{
private var vizProperty:IEventDispatcher;

public function MyNonVizClass ()
{
   //instead of this
   vizProperty = new EventDispatcher(this);
   //I want to do this
   vizProperty = new Sprite(this);
}
}

Basically I want to be able to dispatch the event from the custom class and have the event.target still reference the class rather than the IEventDispatcher property contained within.

I know this is possible somehow because I think Papervision3D implements something like this. Sadly I havne’t been able to find the code in their codebase. I have a work around called an EventDispatcherProxy but it lacks finesse.
