Hi Paul and welcome to the list :)
I am not an OOP expert, but for me it's more natural for a parent class
to handle its children events, and forward it to its own parent, etc...
Most of the time I use this technique :
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class MainClip extends MovieClip {
private var nestedClip1:MovieClip;
private var nestedClip2:MovieClip;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
private function init(){
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
nestedClip1 = this.attach("NestedChild", "child1", depth);
nestedClip1.onRelease = function(){
// some code here...
};
// or you could use a Delegate
nestedClip2 = this.attach("NestedChild", "child2", depth);
nestedClip2.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, this.onClip2Release);
}
private function onClip2Release():Void {
// some code here...
// forward event to any listeners of MainClip
dispatchEvent({type:"doSomething", target:this});
}
}
You could also create classes for your nested clips that use
dispatchEvent() and add your main class as a listener of their clicks
events...
Hope it helps..

This is my first experience use the mailing List so I hope this makes sense!
My question is more of a conceptual one regarding oop best practises. If
I have a class which attaches a clip to the stage how can I attach functions
to clips nested inside this clip. Putting code on the attached clip?s timeline
is wrong, I can use;
myClip.MyChildClip.onRelease = function() { stuff };
It works, but seems fundamentally wrong, as I understood it was bad practise
to add methods to an object dynamically. Should I make the class listen for
clicks on the nested clip or is there another solution?
Cheers,
Paul
