Vaan,
Shouldn't the design of the object be such that it does that initialization you require when it gets instantiated? From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vaan S Lanko Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 10:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Event fired when Object is created ? Does anyone know whether there is an event fired when an object is instantiated ? I have objects that are created from an sqlite SQLEvent result. Presently I'm iterating over the results and calling the populateBar function manually, but it would be nice for the object to detect its been created and dispatch an event automagically. The Event.ACTIVATE event sorta works but only if u move focus out of the AIR app and then back to it again. This is the code i have been working with sofar.... package { import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.EventDispatcher; [Bindable] public class Foo extends EventDispatcher { public function Foo() { super(); this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE,fooLoadedHandler); } public function fooLoadedHandler(event:Event):void { if(this.bar==null) this.populateBar(); this.removeEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE,fooLoadedHandler); } public var bar:Bar; private function populateBar():void{ //.. this.bar = stuff } } } any comments would be greatly appreciated, maybe even an alternative strategy.. Cheers Vaan
