Hello

I cant believe that just a simple process of dispatching a custom event can be so annoying.

I am trying to dispatch a custom complete event but its not working and I have tried everything now. CAN ANYone please help me. I am giving the code of Dispatcher class and the timeline script below.

Dispatcher class

```auto

package 
{
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.net.*;
	import flash.xml.*;

	public class Dispatcher extends EventDispatcher
	{
		// Class Constructor
		public function Dispatcher()
		{

			dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));

		}
	}
}

```

Time line code to catch event.

```auto

var d:Dispatcher = new Dispatcher();
 d.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);

		function onComplete(e:Event):void
		{
			trace("COMpleted parsing");
			
		}

```

Thanks in advnace
