I have a loaded swf(CustomClass) and I want to listen a dispatch event from the swf, but it doesn’t seems to work.

The relation of the dynamic class are:

```auto

tablet(DocClass of the swf) ---> mainmenuC

```

I’m trying to pass a event to a function in tablet, and have the codes listen to the dispatchEvent from the function in tablet.

```auto

CustomClass.addEventListener("profile_home", currentPage)

private function currentPage(event:CustomEvent):void {
                trace("profile home clicked")
            
}

```

tablet.as

```auto

package 
{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;

    public class tablet extends MovieClip
    {

        public var mC:mainmenuC;
        private static var _event:Event;
        private static var dummy:uint = 0;

        public function tablet():void
        {
            mC= new mainmenuC();
            targetMC.addChild(mC);
        }

        public function dispatchE(event:CustomEvent):void
        {
            dispatchEvent(event);
        }
     }
}

```

mainmenuC.as

```auto

tab = new tablet()
var ev:Event=new CustomEvent("profile_home")
tab.dispatchE(ev);

```

it doesn’t return any error, but why does it not pass the data?
