Hello :) it's not a problem ;) only a supplement to highlight this feature.
For me i think the clone() method call alway in the dispatch event isn't the better fast solution to dispatch the events ... but it's an other story ;) EKA+ :) 2007/9/1, Muzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I don't see why this is a "problem" as it's properly documented: > > http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00000138.html > > <quote> > Event class utility methods > > There are two utility methods in the Event class.
