Thanks Johannes,
I tried your code but it didn't work - no errors or anything, just
didn't trigger the handler. Is there be a problem with my timeline
code?
Note - I removed some events and methods to simplify the code.
------------------------------------------------
Class Code:
------------------------------------------------
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Ball extends MovieClip {
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
public function Ball () {
// initialize EventDispatcher
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
// create a ball MC
var aBall:MovieClip = _level0.createEmptyMovieClip('testBall',
getNextHighestDepth());
// draw ball
aBall._x = 100;
aBall._y = 100;
aBall.lineStyle(20, 0xff0000, 100);
aBall.lineTo(0,.2);
declareEventMethods();
}
public function declareEventMethods():Void {
// removed onMouseDown, onMouseUp & onRelease functions to simplify
aBall.onPress = Delegate.create(this,onPress );
}
// removed onMouseDown, onMouseUp & onRelease functions to simplify
private function onPress () {
dispatchEvent( {type: "press", target: this} );
}
}
------------------------------------------------
Timeline Code:
------------------------------------------------
/* create object
----------------------------------*/
var myBall:Ball = new Ball();
myBall.declareEventMethods();
/* add listener
----------------------------------*/
// removed onMouseDown, onMouseUp & onRelease events to simplify
myBall.addEventListener("press", myEventHandler);
/* define handler
----------------------------------*/
function myEventHandler(evt:Object):Void {
trace('A ' + evt.type + ' event was dispatched by ' + evt.target);
}
// this works - but it's not what I'm trying to do...
// testBall.onPress = function () {myEventHandler(testBall);}
