title: listening to events down the display list in children components
body: <p>I'm creating a swf, that has a parent class and a child class. The parent class has a button, that dispatches a custom event and I want the child class to list for this event, but when I dispatch the event the child class does not hear the event has been dispatched.</p>
  
  <p>This is the code that dispatches the event:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private function onCTAClicked(e:MouseEvent):void
          {
              trace("onCTAClicked");
              dispatchEvent(new CTAClickEvent(CTAClickEvent.CTA_CLICK_EVENT,true));
          }
  
  And the listener is registered like this:
  
  public function registerEventListeners():void
          {
              this.addEventListener(CTAClickEvent.CTA_CLICK_EVENT, onCTAClickHandler,false);  
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The registerEventListeners() function is in the child class.</p>
  
  <p>I know events can bubble up the display list but how can then go down the list?</p>
