for any example that listens and re-dispatches an event in Royale, eg:
public function collectionChangeHandler(event:CollectionEvent):void{
... other code ...
else if (ce.kind == CollectionEventKind.RESET)
{
... other code ...
dispatchEvent(event);
}
else if ... other code ...
}
Currently in AVM this will work as it did before. But in Royale it does
not, it will mutate the original event by reseting the target to the
current dispatcher.
This is because the AVM EventDispatcher (I assume) calls the clone() method
on the event, redispatching a new instance from the dispatcher.
To achieve the same thing in Royale, we need to make the following change
in org.apache.royale.events.EventDispatcher:
at location [1]
else if ("target" in event1) {
if (event1.target && "cloneEvent" in event1) {
event1 = event1.cloneEvent();
}
}
