Hi Everyone…

I am getting an Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Component Event.The ComponentEvent class has been imported,and also the event handling code is there. I am not sure what else is wrong, hope somebody can advise me. Thanks. The code is below, the point where the error occurs as indicated by the compiler has been highlighted.
