Ok, I will try to show some code.
Form's Init
private function init():void
{
parent.removeEventListener("remoteDateEvent", remoteClickHandler)
parent.addEventListener("remoteDateEvent", remoteClickHandler)
}
private function remoteClickHandler(event:remoteDateRun):void
{
// each form has different lineId. It would print twice when a second
form dispatches custom event. Which is what I am fighting with.
trace(lineId);
runDate = event.runDate;
dailyJobSumaryList();
}
Before form is added I am removing all forms from Parent:
reportParameters.removeAllChildren();
where reportParameters is "parent".
My custom event object is this:
public class remoteDateRun extends Event
{
public static var remoteDateEvent_SET:String =
"remoteDateEvent";
public var runDate:String = new String();
public var lineId:int = 1;
public function remoteDateRun(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=true)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
override public function clone():Event
{
return new remoteDateRun(remoteDateEvent_SET);
}
}
custom event is dispatched like this:
var eventObj:remoteDateRun = new remoteDateRun("remoteDateEvent");
var df:DateFormatter = new
DateFormatter();
df.formatString =
"MM/DD/YYYY";
eventObj.runDate =
df.format(date.selectedDate);
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
