Awesome!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I need to read more about the Delegate class to understand what's going
on here- I have some idea, but not a clear grasp.
Thank you so much for steering me in the right direction!

- you were trying to detect an OnPRESS eventon the ball class yet it
doesn;t extend Movieclip
Hi Johannes -
Thank you so much for your suggestions - I really do appreciate the
help.
I've removed MovieClip extension from the class, but it's still not
working - it's still the same as where I started - the "Ball" object
renders, but events don't trigger the handler.
I've streamlined things slightly - eliminated whitespace mostly,
Please
- I'm so lost here, this seems so simple.
This is where the code is at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
timeline.as
-----------------------------------------------------------------
import Ball.as;
/* create object */
var myBall:Ball = new Ball();
myBall.declareEventMethods();
/* add listener */
myBall.addEventListener("press", myEventHandler);
/* define handler */
function myEventHandler(evt:Object):Void { trace('evt.type: ' +
evt.type + ' | evt.target' + evt.target); }
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ball.as
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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();
}
public function declareEventMethods():Void { onPress =
Delegate.create(this,onPress); }4
private function onPress () { dispatchEvent( {type: "press",
target: this} ); }
}

ok sorry, you are extending movieclip. i thought for soem reason you
were
not. there is no reason for you to be extending movieclip, so don't
once you have gotten rid of the inheritance then it should work. the
reason
the onPress function works is due to the fact that you are extending
movieclip, and then you assign a different refrence for that
function.
anyway i hope you understand what i am tryimg to say
