RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamic Events (Flex2 Custom Events?)
I dont think the example is going
to work since youre trying to dispatch an anonymous object instead of an
Event. Flex 2 requires an Event to be dispatched.
There is mx.events.DynamicEvent which is a
subclass of Event that is dynamic. The constructor does take the bubbles
parameter so you can do with it what you will. I dont know if any of
the events that the components dispatch are dynamic, I think probably not.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamic Events (Flex2 Custom Events?)
I was subclassing Event, and Flex 2 told me bubbles
was read-only.
I'll try using DynamicEvent then isntead; do you
have the constructor signature handy?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamic Events (Flex2 Custom Events?)
Clarity of intent, potentially better
performance (at the expense of a slightly larger SWF), strong typechecking as
you use the event in your scripts to name a few.

Good to know, I haven't had time to get through all my testing.
So
what is the difference/benefits of subclassing
Event as your own
custom class and using DynamicEvent class?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamic Events (Flex2 Custom Events?)
Yes, bubbles is read-only as a property, but
can be set in the constructor of an event type that exposes it (not all Event
subclasses put the variable in their constructor but I think were trying
for most Flex classes to do so). Constructor of DynamicEvent is:
DynamicEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean
= false, cancelable:Boolean
= false)
