RE: [Flashcoders] dispatchEvent within another event handler

You're listening for an event from your view class that's being fired from
your service class, that's why.

Subject: [Flashcoders] dispatchEvent within another event handler

I'm trying to do what i think should be pretty simple.
I want to dispatch an event when my xml has completed lodaing.
For the life of me i can't figure out why event does not get  
dispatched from handleXML, I know the listner works because I've  
tested it by dispatching the same event from a button click.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import com.acme.AppController;
import com.acme.MyService;

public class MyView extends Sprite
{
public function MyView()
{
var controller:MyController = new
MyController(this);
}
}
}


package com.acme
{
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import com.acme.MyService;

public class MyController extends EventDispatcher
{
private var _view:Sprite;
private var _service:MyService;
public function MyController(target:Sprite){
_view = target;
_view.addEventListener(xmlLoaded, doSomething);
_service = new MyService();
}

public function doSomething(e:Event):void{
trace(doSomething CALLED);
}   
}
}

package com.acme
{
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

private var _xml:XML;

public function MyService(){
_loader = new URLLoader();
_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleXML);
_loader.load(new URLRequest(xml/data.xml));
}

public function handleXML(event:Event):void{
dispatchEvent(new Event(xmlLoaded, true)); // this
never fires
_xml = new XML(_loader.data);
}
}
}

yeah. 
maybe it should be 
   _service = new MyService();
   _service.addEventListener(xmlLoaded, doSomething);

2007-05-23 Thread Muzak 
You're listening for an event on the view, which doesn't dispatch that event.
The event is dispatched from the service, to which you never subscribe.

Muzak

That's not how bubbling works.
Bubbling only occurs for objects that are on the display list.

 Why is that a problem if bubbling is set to true?
