Re: [Flashcoders] dispatching events at creation time?

2006-02-17 Thread 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});
}

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

MovieClip.prototype.onConstruct = function()

}

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.

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?

2006-02-16 Thread 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?

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

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.
