RE:[Flashcoders] dispatching events at creation time?

[azsl1326-email]

A little late in the (reply) game, but you could try:

MovieClip.prototype.onConstruct = function()
{
trace(created)
}

This will be called anytime a new clip is created. You could, however, weed out 
the unwanted dispatching of events, by dispatching based upon the name of the 
clip created, i.e.:


 MovieClip.prototype.onConstruct = function()
 {
 if(this._name == myMC){
trace(created)
}
 }

Hope that helps.

[Aaron Smith]

if you subclass movieclip then you have access to the onLoad method. 
Just overload that and put your dispatch in there


public function onLoad():Void
{
   dispatchEvent({type:'onload', target:this});
}

I've done it the same you have, but it only worked correctly in IE.

Basically, I was replacing the MovieClip.onLoad, but when I tested in
Firefox it never happened.

[Stefan Mees]

You can dispatch a Event at creation time, but no listener can listen to
this event at creation time ;-)

What came firstThe chicken or the egg? ;-)

[Ben Smeets]

Just a quicky, but why would you want to know when an object is created?
If you don't give anything back (like throwing an exception) you van
assume the contructing worked can't you?

[Luca Candela]

I resolved this issue with a callback to a function defined outside the
class that sends the Event. anyone can tell me anything about my other
problem of the day?
