Oh and the last part, dispatching the event:
from BaseMain.as:
dispatchEvent( { type:SOMETHING_COMPLETE } );

I'm not sure if you're asking for this level of explanation or not Jason,
but this might help:
I use a BaseClass.as to extend so that I can dispatch events via
GDispatcher:
import com.blitzagency.xray.logger.XrayLog;
import com.gskinner.events.GDispatcher;
/**
* @author John Grden
*/
class com.tomsnyder.util.BaseClass {
// Public Properties:
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var removeAllEventListeners:Function;
// Private Properties:
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
private var log:XrayLog;
function BaseClass()
{
GDispatcher.initialize(this);
log = new XrayLog();
}
}
So, with this, I just create a new class that extends BaseClass, and
bingo, I have eventDispatching capabilities:
import com.tomsnyder.util.BaseClass;
/**
* @author John Grden
*/
class BaseMain extends BaseClass
{
public static var SOMETHING_COMPLETE:String = "somethingComplete";
function BaseMain()
{
super();
}
}
Now, I can just as easily add my listener from another class that has
access to BaseMain:
BaseMain.addEventListener(BaseMain.SOMETHING_COMPLETE, Delegate.create(this,
somethingCompleteHandler));
private function somethingCompleteHandler(e:Object):Void
{
trace(log.debug("somethingCompleteHandler called", e));
}
For scope, just use mx.utils.Delegate or Steve Websters delegate
Does that help or am I missing your question?
