I'm using the combobox component and I want to manually dispatch the "change" event. How is this done?
// Dispatches when user changes selection
comboType.addEventListener("change",cbListenerDialogue);
// Does not manually dispatch
comboType.dispatchEvent("change");
comboType.dispatchEvent(new Event("change"));
Is there a way to dispatch a SWFAdresss CHANGE Event but also pass parameters (an Object) along with it?I see something like that in the documentation but I can't find an example online...
View 1 RepliesI have a standard combobox that dispatches a collection event when the dataprovider finishes initializing:
my_cb.addEventListener( CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE, getMyStuff );
Then I have a custom component that also has a dataProvider. How do I get it to dispatch a collection change event when its dataprovider finishes loading?From what I've read, I can't do it. Will dispatching a propertychangeevent work?
UPDATE:I have a custom component that I call 'SortingComboBox' but it is not a ComboBox at all; it extends Button and I set is dataProvider property to my arraycollection, model.product (which is an arraycollection). how I use the dataProvider in that component:
code
[Bindable]
private var _dataProvider : Object;
public function get dataProvider() : Object
{[code]..........
In the createChildren() method of this component, I use this:
BindingUtils.bindProperty(dropDown, "dataProvider", this, "dataProvider");
The dropDown is a custom VBox that I use to display labels.
I created an application that whenever I click the button, the text on the textfield will change, I tried to use dispatch Event in this..

I've got this weird problem with Flash in a embed browser in an ASP.NET Windows Application. I've got this Flash Movie that runs in the Windows application and has got a couple of comboboxes. I've added an eventlistener to such a box, but his change event isn't triggerd on some computers. When I click on the combobox it opens up, but when I click on an item in the combobox it closes before he could trigger the change event.
The weird part is that this occurs on some computers, on others it works as it should. And when I load the swf directly in the browser the comboboxes work all the time. So it has something to do with the Windows Application and Flash. All the tested computers have the Flash plugin version 9 and higher (needed for my movie) installed.
I have a comboBox component with a CHANGE event listener on it:
dd_chapter.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeFunction);
function changeFunction(event:Event):void {
trace("changed!");
}
I want to trigger that event programmatically when the comboBox first gets loaded with data. In AS 2, the syntax would be something like "dd_chapter.onChange();". How do I do it in AS 3?

I have a class which makes a url request and stores data from that request. When the data is retrieved, parsed, and stored into an array, I'm sending a dispatch event which I listen for in my document class. In the event handler function in the document class, I'm accessing the array that was compiled from the class. The array inside the class has 15 values, however in my event handler function, I'm only retrieving one value from it, which is the last value in the array. I posted my code below. Is there a different way I'm supposed to use the dispatchEvent in order to retrieve all of the array values instead of one?

Basically all I want to know is if there will be a hit on performance as I dispatch events more frequently, or if this is a trivial task for flash to complete.

View 2 Repliesdispatch an event on every 'onProgressEvent' of an external display object loading.
Does dispatching an event frequently cause performance issues?
All I want to do is have a parent class listen for whenever a progressEvent has fired in my loader class, rather than setting up an onEnterFrame loop in the parent class to call 'get' methods within the loader - this seems inefficient to me seeing as onProgressEvents don't occur on every frame.

I have two buttons each in its own sprite now I want to listen for mouse overmout and click event on both. In a way that if you roll over button1 its color changes but at the same time button2 color changes as well.

What I want now is that when user either scrolls over UK map the map button color changes but at the same time the color for UL text button changes as well. same goes for click and out events for the two.

I have some mouseclick event, and within the function that handles this event there's a combobox appearing. after the combobox appeared, I want to be directed to another listevent which is triggered when there's a change in the selection, but, I also want to pass the previous mouseclick event for there is some information in that event that I want to use within the listevent handling function.
As I understand, you cannot pass parameters along to eventhandlers, so I was wondering what is the best way to operate in this case. I've read you can make custom events, but never saw an event passed as a parameter, and was wondering if that's even possible.
