You have "testInitialize" as both a constant value and the name of an
event.
I would follow this format instead:
=====================
Write the custom event:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class MyEvent extends Event
{
public static var SOME_EVENT:String = "some_event";
public function MyEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
public override function clone():Event
{
return new MyEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
=====================
Dispatch the event:
package
{
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import MyEvent;
public class MyClass extends EventDispatcher
{
public function MyClass()
{
}
public function initialize():void
{
dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(MyEvent.SOME_EVENT));
}
}
}
=====================
Listen for the event:
var myClass:MyClass = new MyClass();
myClass.initialize();
myClass.addEventListener(MyEvent.SOME_EVENT, onSomeEvent);
=====================
Respond to the event:
private function onSomeEvent(event:MyEvent):void
{
trace("event happened.")
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] dispatch a custom Event in a simple class file
Hi there,
I was working on my class file, but the event didn't get called
successfully. Anyting I am missing something?
Thank you
========================
var mc:MyClass = new MyClass();
mc.addEventListener ( "testInitialize" , onINIT );
function onINIT ( e:Event )
{
trace("INIT was called");
}
1. package
2. {
3. import flash.events.Event;
4. import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
5.
6. [Event(name="testInitialize", type="flash.events.Event")]
7. public class MyClass extends EventDispatcher
8. {
9.
10. private const TEST_INITIALIZE :String =
"testInitialize";
11.
12. public function MyClass ()
13. {
14. initialize();
15. }
16.
17. private function initialize():void
18. {
19. ......
20. dispatchEvent ( new Event( TEST_INITIALIZE ) );
21. }
22. }
23. }
