I actually just figured out a possible solution. Jsut thoguht I'd share it
. By having the component just dispatch events with the entered names then
I don't have to worry about all the converting to functions etc
just use:
private function checkForEvents(){
trace("checking");
var itr:Iterator=videoEvents.getIterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
var videoEvent=itr.next();
var method=videoEvent.methodToCall;
dispatchEvent({type:method});
trace(videoEvent.methodToCall);
}
}
and then :
import mx.data.binding.ObjectDumper;
trace(ObjectDumper.toString(red.videoEvents));
red.addEventListener("testing2", testListener);
function testListener(){
trace("testlistcaught");
}
red.addEventListener("testing",test1Listener);
function test1Listener(){
trace("testing one is caught");
}
