eventHandler issue - pls help

programming flash
1

Hi,

I am very new to flex and trying to understand eventHandling.
I have created a custom event and would like to invoke it.
Below is the code of custom event class:

package com.xxx
{
import com.xxx.Me;

import flash.events.Event;

public class AddMeEvent extends Event
{
    public static const ADDME:String = "add-me";
    
    private var _me:Me;
    
    public function AddMeEvent(type:String, me:Me){
        super(type, true);
        _me = me;
    }
    
    public override function clone():Event {
        return new AddMeEvent(type, _me);
    }
    
    public function get me():Me {
        return _me;
    }
}

}

and for an obj of type Me in a class i add the above event as:

obj1.addEventListner(AddMeEvent.ADDME, addHandler);

addHandler method is as below:

private function addHandler(event:AddMeEvent):void{
dispatchEvent(new AddMeEvent(AddMeEvent.ADDME, event.target as Me));
}

but the addHandler code is not reached when i try to debug the above code. Pls help me if you could find what the error is.
