```

	parentEventAction : function(component, event, helper) {

        var cmpMsg = event.getParam("cmpMsg");

        var popFadeEvnt = event.getParam("popFadeEvnt");

        //alert('cmpMsg ' + cmpMsg + 'popFadeEvnt ' + popFadeEvnt);

        component.set("v.w3webMsg", cmpMsg);

        component.set("v.modalFade", popFadeEvnt);

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the use of component event in Salesforce?

A component event is an event that is fired by a lightning component. A component event can either be handled by the component itself or it can be handled by any other component which is present in the hierarchy that receives the event.

How many types of component event are there?

There are two types of events in the framework: Component events are handled by the component itself or a component that instantiates or contains the component. Application events are handled by all components that are listening to the event.

How do you create a component event?

Create a sample component type event. Use type=”COMPONENT” in the aura:event tag for an component event. The attribute type is the one that will differentiate Component event from Application event.

What is the difference between the component event and the application event?

Component events can only be handled by components above them in the containment hierarchy so their usage is more localized to the components that need to know about them. Application events are best used for something that should be handled at the application level, such as navigating to a specific record.
