There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I’ve been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, so I think it’s time to ask for help. I’ve posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please:
Click on “Flash Banners”
The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are “extends Movie Clip” classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC’s and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
The problem is this: - I can’t send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I’m sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can’t be done by the Base class. Can anyone tell me please how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it’s neighbour is playing. I’m happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that’s not clear. Many thanks for your help! Cheers, CC
