Hello

I keep getting the following error msg below I would be very happy if some knows the solution to this:

Error Msg:

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.events:Event

Object A dispatches Event as:

```auto

   dispatchEvent({type:MainMenuEvents.EVENT_MENU_SELECTED, dataObj:"BMW"});

```

Object B adds the event listener:

```auto
 

  menu.addEventListener(MainMenuEvents.EVENT_MENU_SELECTED, this.showChanged);

```

Object B contains the event handler:

```auto

   public function showChanged(event:Event):void{
			
			trace(event.dataObj);

  }

```

Thanks
