Who's dispatching and how?
When does the control get instantiated? Could it be after creationComplete? If the controller is not a UIComponent, it will not get a creationComplete. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dnk Sent: Friday, May 23, 2008 4:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] custom event not added Hi there, I have a controller that is adding my custom event listeners, but for some reason my event handler was not being fired. My original code was (snippet): (in controler) //constructor public function FlexbController() { //turn the key, start it up.... addEventListener( FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onInit ); } private function onInit( event:Event ):void { //setup event listeners /*systemManager is where event listener hangs out defines the relationship between event and handler*/ systemManager.addEventListener( GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT, handler_GetNewsEvent ); systemManager.addEventListener( AddNewsEvent.ADD_NEWS_EVENT, handler_AddNewsEvent ); systemManager.addEventListener( NewsDataLoadedEvent.NEWS_LOADED_EVENT, handler_NewsLoadedEvent ); getNewsData(); } And I had trace statements in all of my handlers... this is how i noticed things were not working as they should. SO I added a simple check like (in my FlexbController constructor): if (systemManager.addEventListener( GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT, handler_GetNewsEvent )) { trace("true"); } else { trace("false"); } And I obviously am getting "false". Ideas? dnk
