I have a button which is an instance of a “button1” class. The button is instantiated by an instance of the"introScreen" class which is instantiated by the "screenHandler"class. I’m not sure how to attack getting an instance(the “button1” instance ) to dispatch an event heard by its grand parent(the "screenHandler"instance). My main confusion is getting an instance to transmit a specific event like the name of the screen to switch to. Can I specify a custom event in an instance?

Can anyone give me a hint???
