I have specific functionality setup in the StateChange event (functionality type 1). But in another part of the class I have functionality (functionality type 2) that does some slightly different work.
The code looks like this: type 1: // someone sets the state in code (could be anywhere) // for example, Application.application.currentState = "state 1"; this generates a state change event and the type 1 functionality is handled in a state change listener i have already setup type 2: // i set the state inside the class specifically where i want it to go // for example, Application.application.currentState = "state 1"; this generates a state change event but i want type 2 functionality to run. so if i cancel the event then i can run type 2 code directly after this line. i thought about using flags like this useType2Functionality = true; Application.application.currentState = "state 1"; useType2Functionality = false; and then in the my state change listener i can check for this flag and either exit or add the code i want in there?
