I’m trying to create a custom multi-touch application that consists of a package containing about 6 classes at the moment. I’m trying to find a way to communicate between the various classes when certain custom events happen but am having a hard time making custom events.
I’ve tried about 5 different tutorials online for creating custom events and none of them have worked. The code is a bit extensive so I won’t attach it but the specific situation I’m dealing with goes like this:
There is a drop down menu system that contains file names from an XML file. When the file name is clicked in the menu I want a custom event to be dispatched that I can pick up in another class file that loads the name of that file into a “status bar” textfield element elsewhere in the app, and later a class that will open the file and add it to the stage.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for creating events like this?
