Sure. I actually went to this route for more complex projects. It gets
crazy trying to manage events, director events, send sprites, etc. By
using a custom event manager you can set it up so that when an action
happens it just tells the global event object what action it did and any
parameters. I have mine set to receive...
The event name (symbol)
The event data (typically a property list of info)
A qualifier - To restrict which events run.
So you can register things with the manager like buttonClick. When a
button is clicked it just triggers the event and passes its name as a
qualifier. The manager checks the objects for anything with that event
that matches the qualifier and triggers the callback. This is also
useful if you want multiple objects to respond to an event at once.
Carrying this over to 3d is also a much easier way to catch and trigger
item interactions.

hi
i'm working on a project in which i need stuff to happen event driven.
i send requests to a server, and have to wait for a respons before
sending a new event,
and ofcourse this new event can depend on the previous respons.
also, there's several objects sending requests and waiting for responses
(independantly), so i need some sort of event-queue
so my question is, what is a sensible way to implement tha in lingo?
i know it's a very broad question, with probably a not so simple answer,
still maybe can shed some light on this. i can give more details if wanted.
thanks
