How to dispatch event from application to module in flex

Question

Is there a way how modules can listen to parent application event? My current solution that works is:

private function directoryRemoteObject_saveCompany_resultHandler(e:ResultEvent):void
{
  this.directoryModuleLoader.child.dispatchEvent(new CompanyEvent(CompanyEvent.COMPANY_SAVED, e.result as int));
}

this means that I need to dispatch event for every module. Isn't there better solution? Thanks.

Answer 1

How about just adding a listener?

        parentApplication.addEventListener( ...)

Answer 2

Use below code to dispatch event from application context

Application.application.dispatchEvent(new Event("Test"));

Use below code to listen event from module

Application.application.addEventListener("Test",function1);
