Hi all
I am just trying to get my nut around event dispatchers.
I can see how they work internally but what I am trying to do is dispatch an event from a subclass back to the document class.
here is what I am trying below but the event is not firing.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class EventDispatcherExample extends Sprite {
public function EventDispatcherExample() {
var addBut:addButton = new addButton();
addEventListener("eventName", actionHandler);
}
private function actionHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("actionHandler: " + event);
}
}
}
Subclass is
package {
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.*;
public class addButton extends Sprite {
public function addButton():void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("eventName", true));
}
}
}
does anyone have a quick link or example that will show a similar technique
cheers
