ASBTerminal.addEventListener - method doesn't exist

For example, the Help docs say to use: [code]instanceName.addEventListener("status", listener);[/code] But in my AS2.0 class I have a variable that is of type ASBTerminal and I get an error saying the addEventListener method doesn't exist. [code]class com.eaxis.ReadingPane extends MovieClip { private var _asbTerminal:ASBTerminal; function ReadingPane() { _asbTerminal.addEventListener( "status", this ); _asbTerminal.addEventListener( "ASBReturn", this ); } private function status( evtObj:Object ):Void { if( evtObj.level == "status" ) trace( "Connection succeeded…" ); if( evtObj.level == "error" ) trace( "Connection failed…" ); } private function ASBReturn( evtObj:Object ):Void { trace( "The AS3 function " + evtObj.functionName + " returned "+evtObj.value ); } }[/code] How should I accomplish this? If I remove the var type I avoid the error but the listener still doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any help! P.S. besides this little hiccup (which is most likely my lack of knowledge about the component), I've been pretty pleased with ASB!

Text Menu Bar V1

LOAD EXTERNAL SWF THROUGH XML?

I would like to load an external swf in my movie using the text menu Bar V1...I do understand xml and action script but am not entirely sure what node to use to pass the parameters. Like for your Drop Down Tree menu v3 you can add a child node in the main node of the xml file. Would there be a similar node in the Text Menu Bar v1. I thought i saw a tutorial on it here a couple of months back, but cant seem to find it now. Would i be able to use the callFunction to aid me in this situation, or use the url parameter to call for an external .swf?? I dont think so, but ill try and play around with it....I am sure I'll figure it out, but any push in the right direction would be great...Thanks!!! - Once you know how Flash works the rest is trivial......:-)
