RE: [flexcoders] Question regarding EventDispatcher

[Tracy Spratt]

Unless a listener is assigned directly to the dispatching component, you
need to set the "bubbles" argument when you dispatch the event

dispatchEvent( new MyEvent (MyEvent.RESULT,true) );

Subject: [flexcoders] Question regarding EventDispatcher

 

Here's the scenerio:

- In a component, I'm dispatching an event. Let's call it: "MyEvent"
- In the main application, there is an EventDispatcher that's 
listening for the component event.

None of this is Cairnogorm for many reasons. (Although I have 
nothing against that framework).

However, this is not working. Would someone be able to explain why 
and how I can go about solving this? Thanks!

Sample code: (Assume all imports are there).
===

public class MyClass extends EventDispatcher {
//stuff

public function myFunction():void {
//more stuff... then...
this.addEventListener (MyEvent.EVENT_GOOD, doGood);
this.addEventListener (MyEvent.EVENT_BAD, doBad);

var test:TestComponent = new TestComponent();
}

public function doGood(e:MyEvent):void {
//do other stuff
}

public function doBad(e:MyEvent):void {
//do stuff
}
}

---
In component:

package com.mystuff.test {
public class TestComponent {
public function TestComponent() { 
//do stuff here
var t:TestDispatcher = new TestDispatcher();
t.dispatchMyEvent();
}
}
}

package com.mystuff.test {
public class TestDispatcher extends EventDispatcher {
public function TestDispatcher() { 
super();
} 

public function dispatchMyEvent():void {
dispatchEvent( new MyEvent (MyEvent.RESULT) );
}
}
}

package com.mystuff.test.events {
public class MyEvent extends Events {
public static var EVENT_GOOD= "goodStuff";
public static var EVENT_BAD = "badStuff";

public function MyEvent (type:String) { 
super(type);
} 
}
}
