    <p>I have a class essentially:</p> <pre><code>public class WindowEvent extends Event { public static const WARNEVENT:String = "warnEvent"; public static const TASKREQEVENT:String = "taskRequestEvent"; public static const TASKANNOUNCE:String = "taskAnnounce"; public static const WINDOWCHANGE:String = "windowChange"; public static const ILLEGALPOSITION:String = "illegalPosition"; // insert brevity } </code></pre> <p>The first four events were working fine, but I just I added <code>ILLEGALPOSITION</code> and tried this:</p> <pre><code> // inside Window.as private function checkDimensions():void { if(!Window._legalBoundaryEnable) return; ... var pass:Boolean = Window.legalBoundary.containsRect( 455 this.getBounds(stage)); 456 if(!pass) { 457 this.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(WindowEvent.ILLEGALPOSITION, ... "Illegal Position etc.")); } } </code></pre> <p>So Flex spewed this stack at me when I hit the dispatch method:</p> <pre>TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ¬ flex.utils.ui::WindowEvent@511dce41 to flash.events.MouseEvent. at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent() ¬ [C:\autobuild\~\UIComponent.as:9298] at flex.utils.ui::Window/checkDimensions()[C:\Users\~\Window.as:457] at flex.utils.ui::Window/stageResized()[C:\Users\~\Window.as:220]</pre> <p>As you can see from the trace, <code>Window.as:<strong>457</strong></code> is the last user code line. So WTF is <code>flash.events.EventDispatcher.dispatchEventFunction</code> trying to do with a <code>MouseEvent</code>?</p>
