I have an event listener for a custom event type. This custom event overrides the clone method as required.In this event listener I want to dispatch an instance of a different type of event... a different custom event instance altogether. It also overrides the clone method as required.The problem is I'm getting a type coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: ...I do not know what is trying to do the casting. My code is:
/* elsewhere in a method */
addEventListener(GestureEvent.GESTURE_SCALE, handlePinched);

I want comp1 to dispatch an Event with parameters,according to the parameters some changes could be made to A and B in comp2.How could I get the event in comp2?I know Cairngorm could make a difference,but I don't want to use it right now.Could anyone give me a hand?
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?

import flash.display.Sprite;

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 classes a Player class and a Bullet class.
In my Player class I'm dispatching an event(to fire a bullet) when the SPACE bar is pressed.
Assuming I already have an Event Class named FireEvent.
How would I write my code to listen for that event dispatch in my Bullet class in order to create a function to fire the bullet?

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.
To be more specific lets suppose I have a graphic button like map picutre for a country like UK and then I have text button for UK 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 know there's been quite a few posts about events, but I've run into a problem that I haven't really encountered before, and I've kind of confused myself with all the talk of "bubbles" and "capture" and various complexities of creating custom events, etc...Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to dispatch a global broadcast style of event.1) If I have a custom class that resides in the Display List (the DispatcherClass), how do I set up this class to broadcast a "global" event?Actionscript Code:1b) If I have another custom class that also resides in the Display List (but in a completely unrelated heirarchy), how do I get this ListenerClass to "hear" the event WITHOUT explicitly referencing the instance of the DispatcherClass like so:
Actionscript Code:DispatcherClassInstance.addEventListener("DispatcherClassEvent", handler, false, 0, true);Is this even possible?2) What if the DispatcherClass DOES NOT reside in the DisplayList?Is it possible to dispatch a "global" style event since there is nothing to "bubble" up through?2b) How would I get a ListenerClass, maybe on the DisplayList, maybe not, to "hear" this event?
I don't seem to get the dispatch event working when i use atween. I tried before an dispatch Event andthat worked great. My working example:For example i have a class called LoadImageAnd inside this class i have:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {

I'm trying to do now is to make the application auto click on the first thumbnail,[code]I've been trying to google it and found that maybe I'll have to add an event listener to know when the thumbnail is actually being added to the stage, and just then click on it.I just found out that the code that Ascension Systems provided worked, but it didn't work at first because of a different error I had,the thing is, I'm working with the youtube API, FLVPlayback and such,And Each one of them is in a different movieclip,In the youtube movieclip I added this function:[code]I am setting the player as an object in the beginning of the script like so:var player:Object;
View 1 RepliesI have a checkbox that is bound to a property:
<mx:CheckBox label="Show All" selected="{showAll}"/>
I want to trigger an event when the checkbox is toggled that will read the value of showAll after a change:
<mx:CheckBox label="Show All" selected="{showAll}" click="_list.refresh()" />
Where, in this case, _list is an ArrayCollection object whose filter function depends on the showAll field to choose values.It turns out that this doesn't work, or at least gives a strong appearance of not working (what with the values in the list not changing and all). Is there a documented order of events for this, so that I can discover which events are dispatched in which order, and whether the binding value change will have fired the time the click event is dispatched? Alternately, can someone recommend a better way of doing this?
Consider this (psuedo-code):
var country = new Country();
addChild(country);
var state = new State();

Is there a way how modules can listen to parent application event? My current solution that works is:
private function directoryRemoteObject_saveCompany_resultHandler(e:ResultEvent):void
{
this.directoryModuleLoader.child.dispatchEvent(new CompanyEvent(CompanyEvent.COMPANY_SAVED, e.result as int));
}
this means that I need to dispatch event for every module.
So I'm trying to build a tool that will allow me and other users to all open the same .swf, and then I as the Admin user am able to interact with mine while they all see my mouse movements and button clicks etc on theirs.I'm using BlazeDS to manage this and I'm getting data sent back and forth etc - no difficulties there. The issue I'm running into is this:
In an "Admin" instance, I click a button. I capture that X and Y, then tell Blaze to tell my clients to dispatch a Click event at that X and Y. On my client side, I get that data and dispatch a Click event at that X and Y - but the click is actually caught at the stage level. The click on my client side takes place UNDER all of my buttons and other content - so the whole thing fails.Is there a way to tell it to start the click event at the top?
