I never use super() so I have no idea, but see what happens when you throw
the initialize in a static variable like;
class myClass extends otherClass
{
private static var EventDispatcherDependancy =
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize ( myClass.prototype );
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public function myClass (m:Model) {
super();
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS2: EventDispatcher.initialize() and
super()conflict?
I have a class that has to call it's superclass in the constructor.
However, it also needs to initialize EventDispatcher to listen to
dispatch events that another class is listening to. It seems, and I
could be wrong, that EventDispatcher does not work if it's not the first
thing in the constructor. I thought someone had said once, or I read
it, that EventDispatcher has to be first in the constructor. And of
course, probkem then is super() will not work if it's not first, so it
seems to be a catch-22. Is this true regarding
EventDispatcher.initialize() and how to avoid?
code snippet:
/*=========Constructor=========*/
public function MyClass(m:Model)
{
super(m);
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
If this is OK then maybe something else is wrong in my code, I just
wanted to find out if maybe this is why the events aren't firing.
Thanks,
