Try this :
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Ball {
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',
_level0.getNextHighestDepth() );
// draw ball
aBall._x = 100;
aBall._y = 100;
aBall.lineStyle(20, 0xff0000, 100);
aBall.lineTo(0,.2);
declareEventMethods(aBall);//BWC - CHanged this to pass the item
}
// pass the mc in
public function declareEventMethods(p_mc:MovieClip):Void {
p_mc.onPress =
Delegate.create(this,onPress); }4
private function onPress () { dispatchEvent( {type: "press",
target: this} ); }
}
- you were trying to detect an OnPRESS eventon the ball class yet it
doesn;t extend Movieclip
