catching FULL_SCREEN events

I catch the fullScreenEvent in my application mediator class and would like to
pump the fullScreenEvent into the framework with dispatchEvent(evt).

What do I need to do to inject this single flash event into robotLegs?

I thought the following would work but it doesn't

commandMap.mapEvent(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, ApplicationFullScreenEvent, FullScreenEvent, false);

regards

   Can you post your mediator code?

   It sounds like your not passing the event along to the event bus.

   Thanks Jason you are right - I was passing FullScreenEvent but injecting Event
   into the command.

   [Inject] public var event:Event;

   I would have expected a compile-time error though - or even a run-time error but it just silently fails.

   @kevin.dowd,

   You can cast any object in AS3 as one of its superclass (i.e. cast a FullScreenEvent as an Event). This is legit as it 'is' the type of its superclass in as3. That's the reason for no error.
