[flexcoders] Re: Custom Event and bubbling phase

2009-02-05 Thread valdhor 
You can listen to any event in the event flow chain - you just need to
make sure which chain you are listening to.

You are using the popupmanager so you need to use the chain that is
based on systemmanager.

Is there any particular reason the popup panel cannot handle the
event itself?

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Event and bubbling phase



Hi,

i have a main application and there i create a popup panel...

from the popup panel i dispacth a custom event like this

var e1:CustomLoadEvent = new CustomLoadEvent(loadModule, true);
dispatchEvent(e1);

where loadModule is the type and the value true stands for
bubbles..

then at the creationcomplete event within the main application i
create an eventlisteners for the event

addEventListener(loadModule, loadThisModule);

the loadThisModule function simple trace a string..

but it doesn't work!!Why?

Thanks in advance

Regards Lorenzo
   
   thanks for the reply..
   
   CustomLoadEvent is a custom event, it extends Event class...but
   doesn't work..i don't know why...
   in this class i also override the clone method...
   
   the CustomLoadEvent class has a public properties...i omit it in
   dispatchevent function for simplicity..
   
   the function loadThisModule catchs the event in this manner
   
   private function loadThisModule(event:CustomLoadEvent):void{
   trace(event.identification);
   }
   where identification is the public property of customloadevent
class.
   
   thanks in advance
   
   Regards Lorenzo
  
 
 the first two assumptions are correct...
 
 so when i use popmanager i cann't listen to popup event in the event
 flow chain, is it correct?
 
 thanks again

That is exactly right.  I missed the popup panel part.  And
systemmanager *is* where you would need to listen for a bubbling event
from a pop-up.

 

We must assume the OP has a good reason for using bubbling events
instead of listening directly to the popup instance.
