I made a custom event called TreeDataLoadedEvent.
In my Application.mxml, i add a listener to this event in the
creationComplete phase.
The TreeDataLoadedEvent is dispatched by a custom class named
ModelLocator that extends EventDispatcher.
The ModelLocator class is instanced in Application.mxml.
It seems that Application.mxml does not receive the event at all...
I wonder if it is because ModelLocator is not directly a child of the
main application...?
How i can dispatch an event to the application that is not a child of
type DisplayObject?
Code :
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute"
creationComplete="creationCompletedHandler(event);">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import events.TreeDataLoadedEvent;
import model.ModelLocator;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public var modelLocator:ModelLocator =
ModelLocator.getInstance();
private function creationCompletedHandler(evt:Event):void{
this.addEventListener(
TreeDataLoadedEvent.LOAD_COMPLETED_EVENT, eventReceived );
}
private function btnClicked(evt:Event):void{
modelLocator.dispatchEvent( new TreeDataLoadedEvent()
);// In the constructor i call super("goodType",true)
}
private function eventReceived(evt:Event):void{
Alert.show("Event received!"); //this is never shown
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button id="btn" x="209" y="299" label="Button"
click="btnClicked(event);"/>
</mx:Application>
