Hi all,
The last couple of weeks I wrote my first application in Flex. Today I
want to refactor it, meaning : using custom classes and custom events.
I have following :
I created an application with a couple of buttons and with a custom
component (myCustomComp) in it. This custom component is based on a
Vbox an contains :
- an HBox (mySearchbar) with a textfield and button
- a datagrid which contains data from a database
- an HBox (myToolbar) with a button and a label
The buttons are used for adding, modifying and deleteing records of the
database. SO I was thinking of creating a custom event (myCustomEvent).
The code I have so far is following :
package events {
import flash.events.Event;
public class myCustomEvent extends Event {
public function SpellEvent(type:String) {
super(type);
}
override public function clone():Event{
var evt:myCustomEvent = new myCustomEvent(type);
return evt;
}
}
}
I was thinking of adding event listners to my buttons. For example my
button to add a new record will have a addRecordEventListener. In this
listener I create a new instance of myCustEvent and pass my new record
as a parameter.
The same I will do with my button to delete a record.
My question is where and how I should make the difference between the 2
operations.
I suppose I have to create a new instance of my event and besides my new
record I also need to pass the type of operation : something like new
myCustomEvent(newRecord, "addRecord") or new myCustomEvent(newRecord,
"deleteRecord"). But in this case, how do I process the different
operations?
I'm lost and hoping for a clear answer.
Thanks
