Re: [Flashcoders] addEventListener - MovieClip wants to pass event to containing class
Thanks for the tips Moses! I'm gonna download and check out
CallbackDispatcher 2.0 now...
Where are you from? I'm living in NJ, working in Manhattan.

Re: [Flashcoders] addEventListener - MovieClip wants to pass event to containing class
Steve -
Yes there are 2 things available for this. MM added that
functionality in some event classes that are pretty much undocumented
and a little tough to learn - UIEventDispatcher and LowLevelEvents.
Secondly, I wrote a class called CallbackDispatcher that makes it
really easy to use events to scope simple callbacks wherever you
want. It's available free at my website and includes a comparison &
example of the MM system.
You can specify an event prefix like "evt_" then name your events
like "evt_onRollOver", or use Delegates as shown here, to route any
built-in MC, Button, or TextField callbacks to a uniquely named
method. This really helps keep scoping mouse events tidy and also
gives you an opportunity to group the events for some subset of nav
elements into smartly named handlers, like "handleNavEvent" in this
example which will do rollover/out and onpress actions - keeps your
classes neat. (Again, the use of Delegate is entirely optional.)
var navDel:Function = Delegate.create(this, handleNavEvent);
CallbackDispatcher.initialize(mc);
mc.addEventListener ('onRollOver, onRollOut, onPress', navDel);
function handleNavEvent(o:Object) {
trace(o.target._name+'.'+o.type);
switch(o.type) {
// etc..
}
}

Hope that helps you out!

Re: [Flashcoders] addEventListener - MovieClip wants to pass event to containing class
Thats not how EventDispatcher works.
Firstly, you need a movieclip whose class has EventDispatcher tied into it
(like the v2 components do). Once that's working, the correct syntax is:
mc.addEventListener("click", this);
function click() {
// do stuff
}

[Flashcoders] addEventListener - MovieClip wants to pass event to containing class
Hey folks,
I'm having a little trouble getting addEventListener to work. I've tried a
bunch of combinations, but have yet to find the right one. I'm trying to
assign onRelease functions to a bunch of buttons in my LanguageChooser
class. All I want to do is call a function inside LanguageChooser, telling
it which button was clicked. Can I do it simply like this, or do I need to
create a separate class for the button MovieClips?
//THIS IS THE PART THAT'S NOT WORKING
english.onRelease = french.onRelease = german.onRelease =
spanish.onRelease =
addEventListener(this, languageClicked);
Thanks in advance for any help!
