Excellent, about halfway through cleaning out all of the event classes that didn't have custom parameters it occurred to me that I better make sure there wasn't some instances where I needed the clone method.
Thanks a lot Tim, --Sean ----- Original Message ---- From: Tim Hoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 4:13:39 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm: When / why override clone in Events In this case, you are creating a new event instance, so the clone over-ride doesn't matter. It would only matter if you were redispatching an event that was already instantiated. - do I really need to create a custom event class for every type of event? Usually, you would only create a custom event, in Cairngorm or plain Flex, if you need to attach properties (parameters, data...) to the event. If not, just register the event name in the Controller and you're good to go. -TH --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, Sean Sell <rough68fish@ ...> wrote: > > Thank you, that was very helpful. > > As a follow on question: if you dispatch an event in a Cairngorm app like so: > > CairngormEventDispa tcher.getInstanc e().dispatchEven t( new CairngormEvent( AppController.

Does anyone understand haw and when you should do this?
