title: Can't a child listen parent events?
body: <p>I wish a parent object would dispatch an event to all its children listening to this event.
  I tried the code below with no success:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var boxParent:Sprite = new Sprite();
  var boxChild:Sprite = new Sprite();
  
  this.addChild(boxParent);
  boxParent.addChild(boxChild);
  
  boxChild.addEventListener("parentTalking", onParentTalking);
  boxParent.dispatchEvent(new Event("parentTalking"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do so?</p>
  
  <p>BTW, I wish I could avoid doing something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for (var i:int = 0; i &lt; boxParent.numChildren; i++) {
      (getChildAt(i) as MyChild).hereItGoesParentCommand();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
