So, if i want to dispatch the same event again but with another parameters why cant i override the clone function to put those parameters in it?I mean,something like  
pubic override function clone(par1, par2){  
semms that flash dont like it, and also since the clone function itself creates another instance of my custom event i cant change the parameters in the old one and expect them to be in the new one…  
So, whenever i want to want to dispatch an event with another public variables will i have always to create a new instance of my event?
