I kind of figured out the issue, but would like to get some confirmation...
The issue at hand was that I was adding the listeners almost at the same
time that the application starts... here is one sample:
-------MAIN.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Main extends Sprite {
public function Main() {
var mm = new MyMessage;
mm.addEventListener(MyMessage.DONE, theComplete);
}
private function theComplete ( e : Event ) {
trace("THE COMPLETE")
}
}
}
------------------ MYMESSAGE.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.*;
public class MyMessage extends EventDispatcher {
public static const DONE : String = "complete";
public function MyMessage () {
init();
}
public function init() {
theDispatch();
}
public function theDispatch() {
dispatchEvent( new Event(MyMessage.DONE))
}
}
}
------------
Now if i put a time out, the application is able to register the listeners.
So I must assume there is no way to assign a listener at the same time you
are creating an object. Is that correct?
