Sunil, Yeah, that was my initial question. When I posted an AS3 version of Delegate (to deal with this problem) a few months back, there seemed to be general disapproval: http://groups.google.com/group/flashcoders-storage/browse_thread/thread/2e96884b04d28f00/22eb09149a920a6e?lnk=gst&q=delegate+Ian&rnum=1#22eb09149a920a6e I haven't had a chance to look deeply into it until now (with the porting of the new framework) and I can't find an elegant alternative. It didn't help that my original example used buttons, which are easy to find alternative answers for! It's very different when dealing with asynchronous loading or asynchronous animations... So, yes - reasons for the original objections would be useful, too. :-) (For info, my original blog post on this here: http://wildwinter.blogspot.com/2007/04/come-back-delegate-all-is-forgiven.html ) Cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
