Thanks for the answer Mike.  I am curious why I need the STRING around my 
variable).

 Hi,
 
 It needs to be;

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Shortcut for creating and dispatching events

2006-11-05 Thread Gordon Smith 












You'd write



 model.dispatchevent( new
TextEvent(SEARCH_MACHINES, false, false, dgItems.selectedItem.machine));



But the SDK team considers the 3-line
approach better practice, because it makes clear which property is getting set
to what. If you have an event with a lot of properties, code like



 dispatchEvent(new
MyEvent(MY_EVENT_TYPE, false, false, 1, foo, 19, 36, [ bar
], true, 2, { x: 99, y: 108 })



isn't very clear.

The signature for the TextEvent already HAS the text
property. 

from LiveDocs: 
TextEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean =
false, text:String = 
)

I am just looking for the syntax for typing it on one line

thanks

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.

[flexcoders] Re: Shortcut for creating and dispatching events

2006-11-04 Thread Derrick Grigg 
I'm assuming you are using Cairngorm. If so your model will also need 
to use the EventDispatcher or CairngormEventDispatcher class to 
dispatch the event since the Model does not have that built in 
natively.
