Re: [flexcoders] flex newbie - dispatchEvent question - Part 2

Thu, 20 Apr 2006 13:50:56 -0700

Well, this worked, but in the Cairngorm framework this was correct and
the problem is somewhere else.
Below is my new little test.
This time the button that does the dispatchEvent is not in the
application, but inside another component

The  Main.mxml code is almost the same as before, just the Login 
component is new.
The button with Login1 has the same code as the Login2 button inside the
Login component (both dispatch a "test" event).
But the Application catches just the Login1 event.
What am I mmissing this time?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*"
layout="absolute" applicationComplete="onComplete()">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[

            [Bindable]
            public var status:String = "";

            public function onComplete():void {
                status += "Add Event Listener...\n";
               
Application.application.addEventListener("test",onTestEvent);
            }

            public function onTestEvent(event:Event):void {
                Application.application.status += "Test Event occured...\n";
            }

            public function dispatchTextEvent():void {
                var event:Event = new Event("test");
                dispatchEvent( event );
                status += "Event Dispatched...\n";
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:Button x="66" y="56" label="Login1" click="dispatchTextEvent()" />
    <mx:TextArea x="66" y="123" width="393" height="243" text="{status}"/>
    <Login x="333" y="56" />
</mx:Application>

The Login.mxml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            public function loginUser():void
            {
                var event:Event = new Event("login");
                dispatchEvent( event );
                Application.application.status += "Dispatch login
event...\n";
            }
          
            ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:ControlBar>
        <mx:Button label="Login2" click="loginUser()" />
    </mx:ControlBar>
</mx:Canvas>
