RE: [flexcoders] Re: Shortcut for creating and dispatching events

[Gordon Smith]

You'd write       model.dispatchevent( new TextEvent(SEARCH_MACHINES, false, false, dgItems.selectedItem.machine));   But the SDK team considers the 3-line approach better practice, because it makes clear which property is getting set to what. If you have an event with a lot of properties, code like       dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(MY_EVENT_TYPE, false, false, 1, "foo", 19, 36, [ "bar" ], true, 2, { x: 99, y: 108 })   isn't very clear.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of boy_trike Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 11:18 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Shortcut for creating and dispatching events   The signature for the TextEvent already HAS the text property. from LiveDocs: TextEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "") I am just looking for the syntax for typing it on one line thanks bruce --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "Ralf Bokelberg" <ralf.bokelberg@...> wrote: > > Hi Bruce, > > you need to extend the constructor of TextEvent: > > public function TextEvent( type : String, text : String ) ... > > Cheers, > Ralf. > > On 11/4/06, boy_trike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]..> wrote: > > the 1st 3 lines work fine.
