Awesome, Amy Blankenship started on some of this a while back. If she is on this list she might have some to contribute as well. In the meantime, here are the tests that go along with the feature: https://github.com/apache/flex-flexunit/tree/master/FlexUnit4Test/src/org/flexunit/events/rule/cases To give some context, the EventRule is supposed to be a really, really easy way to handle testing of things that use Events as their primary communication mechanism. It supposed to be an easier version of something like this (which was for FlexUnit .9): http://blogs.adobe.com/tomsugden/2008/01/post.html In General, Rules are a way to add extensibility to the flexunit framework. So the EventRule is basically an extensibility package for testing events. The important starting point of all of these tests is: [Rule] public var expectEvent:EventRule = new EventRule(); Take a look at those to start. Feel free to ask tons of questions. I am happy to answer. This may all seem a bit obtuse at first but this is one of those gems no one knows about. Thanks, Mike
