Followed it closely and still nothing! I dispatch the Event alright from the first .as file and it runs the function featEvent() but that's as far as it gets. (found this out using trace statements)
Custom Event:
ActionScript Code:
package asFiles {
import flash.events.Event;

I believe the error is in the actual featEvent, but can't find where.
I am having trouble using a custom event in flex. I need to dispatch an event from inside two nested components and receive it in the main application file. The basic set up is a main application file importing a custom "gallery" component.

i want to ask what i am missing why my customevents not working
I have a main document class with an eventListener detecting a custom event.
The custom event exists in multiple swfs. Its task is to call a function which will remove a movieclip in the document class.
This is working in the loaded swf, but not in any loaded swf afterward.
Do I need to write the dispatchEvent differently if its trying to send an event that has been sent already?
I hope this isn't too vague without code examples. It would take me quite a while to extract the relevant code.
I have some problem with custom event dispatch, I have a main class call main.as, which will call in another class call something.as, when something.as is called it will dispatch an event. i have added an eventListener for that particular event, but it's not working.

I got a question about event dispatching and dispatching in flex.
My goal is to pass an email address captured in one component (Comp1) and be passed to another (Comp2). These two components are navigator content of a viewstack. The custom event dispatched the email correctly from Comp1 but somehow could not reach Comp2. The application (Main) looks like :

I am trying to get some code working from an example I came across. most of the functionality works but it is failing when it tries to dispatch a custom event. At the moment the code that is trying to dispatch the event is inside a class that handles amf remoting.the example has this line in it for the dispatch:
Application.application.dispatchEvent(new
RemoteResultEvent(RemoteResultEvent.USER_UPDATE_COMPLETE,"test"));
but that fails as it does not know what application.application is "Multiple markers at this line:
-Access of undefined property application"
I assume that this is because this was not written for a mobile app. I tried changing the dispatcher to EventDispatcher
EventDispatcher(
new RemoteResultEvent(RemoteResultEvent.USER_UPDATE_COMPLETE, "worked"));
but I then get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::RemoteResultEvent@18337731 to flash.events.EventDispatcher.
This is the code in the custom event RemoteResultEvent.as :
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class RemoteResultEvent extends Event {
[code]...
Is there a better way of doing this?
Code:
var b:someButton = new someButton();
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchEvent, false, 0, true);

I have a boxer class that I would like to be able to dispatch a custom event out of at different times so the main timeline can pick it up and do something. It is at the end of different things. ie. movieclip finished playing. So far when I try to dispatchEvent it says I can't with error 1061.
View 8 RepliesI am trying to work with the EventDispatcher class to dispatch a custom event to stop a video from playing. The video plays inside a MovieClip with an attached class file called PlayerProfile. I want the video in the PlayerProfile MovieClip to stop playing when the user clicks on another MovieClip called ScrollBox. I'm getting no compile or runtime erros, but the code is not stopping the video. I have seen use of a public static constant to represent the custom event. Is that what I am missing here.

I am trying to dispatch a custom event from one flex module to another.The code which dispatch the event is as below Application.application.Destination.child.dispatchEvent(
new AlgoEvent(AlgoEvent.GETFROMPARENT_LOCAL_EVENT));
here AlgoEvent is a custom event.on the other side the module which catches and handles the event has this code:
public function sendParametersToChild(e:AlgoEvent):void
{[ code]...
but when the statement Application.application.Destination.child.dispatchEvent(new AlgoEvent(AlgoEvent.GETFROMPARENT_LOCAL_EVENT)); is executed the debugger give the following run time exception:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert resources.events:: AlgoEvent@4182239 to resources.events.AlgoEvent.at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()[code]...........
is it possible to create custom event with variable arguments count? I ask this because currently I use anonymous functions on events with variable parameters count to pass arguments to appropriate function, i.e:
Code:
addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function(evt:MouseEvent):void{mTBGp( pX, pY, l_w, l_h, isDone )}, false, 0, false );
addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function(evt:MouseEvent):void{mTBGe( pX, pY, l_w, l_h )}, false, 0, false );
and I don't want to do that because of weakReference.
1. From what I know if I set weakReference to true with anonymous function on in addEventListener GarbageCollector will delete them (and indeed I can see that my code stops to work on random, due to GC "kickin in")
2. When i delete my Object with addEventListener( weakReference = false ) the memory used by addEventListener is not freed ( unconfirmed, please elaborate on that subject also)That's why, from My point of view, usage of custom event is best, but unfortunately I use many addEventListeners with variable parameters count so (in above example 2 listeners. one 5 arg, second 4 arg) is there a way to do something like this? To write event that will take x parameters of any type?
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?

The problem is I get Error: Error #2094: Event dispatch recursion overflow. Why does removechild keep getting called if this.parent does not exist? Why doesn't removing event listeners work?
This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event

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:

I have an <mx:Application> which contains a <mx:Module>. This module has several child modules. It also has some an instance of a class I have created. I am trying to have a method of this class dispatch an event that can be "heard" by the module and handled. This isn't happening.To be more clear, I am using 'dispatchEvent' to from inside a class method.There is an instance of this class in: mx.core.Application.myapplication.mymodule.myclassIt is the 'myclass.somefunction' that dispatches the event. I have a listener registered in 'mymodule'. Nothing happens when the function/method runs, however.

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?
