Add Event Listener to Edit Widget Pop-up Skin

Hi,

I am working on customising the Edit Widget. I have made some changes to the EditWidgetAttributeInspectorSkin to add a button which dispatches an event to the Edit Widget to tell it to display a secondary modal box for the user to enter some values.
When the user clicks the ok button I want to pass a value from the modal box back to the EditWidgetAttributeInspectorSkin and display the value between 2 buttons to allow the user to change or delete the info.

I have created a custom event which contains a data object similar to the event class here:

My problem is catching the event in the EditWidgetAttributeInspectorSkin, I can catch it in the Edit widget but I don't know how to pass it on to the EditWidgetAttributeInspectorSkin or just catch it in there in the first place.

The 3 screenshots attached show the workflow.

Thanks for any help!

I have managed to pass the event down to the skin using the following code in the Edit widget.
It might not be the best solution but it is the only one I have at the minute

recordPanel.addEventListener(PassDataEvent.DATA_PASSED, passOnData);

The recordPanel is the dialog that the user enters data in.

private function passOnData(event:PassDataEvent):void {  var skinAccessObj:EditWidgetAttrInspectorRelatedSkin = editor.attributeInspector.skin as EditWidgetAttrInspectorRelatedSkin;  skinAccessObj.addRelatedFeatBtn(event); }
