Crap, tired, forgot the import statement for the first example: import mx.events.EventDispatcher;

In Flash 8 and below, here's how you can tap into the framework using MovieClip: class Component extends MovieClip { // these functions are added at runtime by the mixin // we define here so Flash compiler doesn't bitch public var addEventListener:Function; public var removeEventListener:Function; private var dispatchEvent:Function; // event dispatching power turn on... we get signal static private var mixit:Void = EventDispatcher.initialize(Component.prototype); public function onPress():Void { var o:Object = {}; o.type = "pressSucka"; o.target = this; dispatchEvent(o); } } To use it, give the MC a linkage name, associate this class, and then: import Component; attachMovie("Component", "mc", 0); mc.addEventListener("pressSucka", this); function pressSucka(event:Object):Void { trace("pressed button, G!"); } You get this for free extending UIObject: import mx.core.UIObject; class Component extends UIObject { public function onPress():Void { var o:Object = {}; o.type = "pressSucka"; o.target = this; dispatchEvent(o); } } In AS3, DisplayObject, Sprite, and MovieClip all extend EventDispatcher, thus, they too already get dispatchEvent and friends for free. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Ribau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 3:15 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Compoent Events Example (dispatch, listen, etc) Does anyone know of a really really good example that shows how to write Components that dispatch and listen to events ? Deeper question: What about a Component that when dragged onto another Component/Object adds listeners for that Component's Events to the Component/Object ?
