The panel that fired the event is e.target! The curentPanel is a property of the NewEvent itself, so you access it directly through e.currentPanel, but before, you have either to make it public or implement a public getter for it. As I said, if with currentPanel you just want to save a reference to the panel that fired the event, then you don't need it, it's in e.target.
For the stopPropagation functions, which one to use depends on what you want to do, you can find more information here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=events_08.html Haykel Ben Jemia Allmas Web & RIA Development http://www.allmas-tn.com On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 12:55 PM, lorenzo.boaro <[email protected]>wrote: > tahnks > > now it works... > > an other question... > > if i modify theevent class to pass a panel > > > public static const NEW_EVENT:String = "newEvent"; > > private var currentPanel:Panel; > > override public function clone():Event { > return new FlipEvent(type, currentPanel); > } > > public function NewEvent(type:String, currentPanel:Panel) > { > super(type); > this.currentPanel = currentPanel; > } > > then when i fire the event how my function test can know about the > currentPanel > > for example like this.. > > function test(e:NewEvent) { > trace(e.target.currentPanel); > } > > then i would stop the propagation of the event > > there are two methods > > stopPropagation or stopImmediatePropagation ..how can i use? > > thanks again > > --- In [email protected] <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, "Haykel > BEN JEMIA" <hayke...@...> > wrote: > > > > You have to add the event listener to the object that dispatches the > event > > you want to listen to.
