Re: [Flashcoders] Reccomended practices for overiding events dispatched with onEvent handlers

no you can use the same event, but then the handleing function need not be named the same as the eventname. i think thast what you want to acheive but am not certain i am 100% clear on that On 3/22/06, Manuel Saint-Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So would I want to use different events for m

So would I want to use different events for my own housekeeping to avoid colliding with them using those events? On 3/22/06, Johannes Nel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > oh i understand > what you are doing is this: > > this.addEventListener("onScreenFaded ", this) > > private function onScreenFa

Re: [Flashcoders] Reccomended practices for overiding events dispatched with onEvent handlers

oh i understand what you are doing is this: this.addEventListener("onScreenFaded ", this) private function onScreenFaded (evtObj:Object):Void { } so if your user does this instance.onScreenFaded = function your code breaks. i would say don't use this in the event listener if this is the case, r

Re: [Flashcoders] Reccomended practices for overiding events dispatched with onEvent handlers
