Hi,
Class names should begin with an Uppercase letter. RemoteClick not
remoteClick.
The type String can be lowercase if you want..
Something like the following..
package modulecode
{
import flash.events.Event;
public static const remoteClick:String="remoteClick";
public class RemoteClick extends Event
{
public function RemoteClick(type:String="remoteClick",
bubbles:Boolean=false,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
//Some component that dispatches and handles RemoteClick events
<MyCanvas>
<script>
public function handleButtonClick():void{
var eventObj:RemoteClick = new RemoteClick(); //no bubble
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
}
public function handleRemoteClickEvent(e:RemoteClick):void{
trace("handleRemoteClick: "+e);
}
public function init():void{
addEventListener("remoteClick", handleRemoteClickEvent);
}
</script>
<mx:FormItem label="" textAlign="right">
<mx:Button label="Run" click="handleButtonClick()" id="run"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</MyCanvas>
Or....
//Some component that dispatches RemoteClick events. NOTE : the name of
the event and the type.
<MyCanvas2>
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="remoteClick", type="modulecode.RemoteClick")]
</mx:Metadata>
<script>
public function handleButtonClick():void{
var eventObj:RemoteClick = new RemoteClick(); //no bubble
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
}
</script>
<mx:FormItem label="" textAlign="right">
<mx:Button label="Run" click="handleButtonClick()" id="run"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</MyCanvas2>
Use MyCanvas2 in another component..
<ACanvas>
<script>
function handleRemoteClick(e:RemoteClick):void{ ... }
</script>
<MyCanvas2 remoteClick="handleRemoteClick(event)" ... />
</ACanvas>
HTH.
