ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatching Events From Static Class?
Aug 3, 2010
However, it seems to me as I've started building this (or trying, rather) that there's no way this can be done, but I'm sure I'm wrong. Since the static class is never added as an instance to the display list, the stage (or any object for that matter) will never hear any events it dispatches.I've searched and found this, but that doesn't seem to be the right solution since I'm listening for my custom LinkEvent event from the stage, and *not* in the class calling the dispatch function in the static dispatcher class.And to reiterate, the goal is to have a single class I can use throughout my application that dispatches my custom LinkEvent event with two properties: linkURL, and linkTarget.The whole reason for wanting to do this is so I can have some control over what happens (to track, or do some other behavior) when someone clicks on a link created within an htmlText TextField with an <a>

I have a class name ImageLoader that is used to load image and the dispatch a complete event when the image is loaded. This class is implementing singleton design pattern which means that only one instance is created always for this class.
Everything is working fine it is loading the image but in the initListener function i am dispacthing a complete event to let the other class Content (which passes the image name to this class ) that the image is loaded and you can access it now.
BUt the problem is the event is never dispatched or may be it is but I am not catching it properly here is code for my ImageLoader class.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;

I think this is a pretty simply problem but I do not seem to be able to pull it off. Basically I have a parent class A, and a child class B.Class A instantiates class B with addChild.There is a shared object which is being updated from a java server (red5) that has an event listener attached to it in class A.I have a function in class A which will pass certain, specific updates from this shared object to class B.The problem occurs is that when class B is instantiated, the event listener from class A doesn't work anymore. I have not removed the event listener from A.?

I am able to get the result, but not able to dispatch the event from the custom actionScript class. I googled and got the riposte that you need to add it to display list.

I have a main application Planner.mxml. This view has a couple of custom components, one of which is LoginView.mxml. In LoginView.mxml I do the following:
protected function btnLoginClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
try
{
[code]....
As you can see, when the user is successfully logged in, I want to dispatch a custom event; if not, I show an alert box. However, this event doesn't dispatch (or at least, I don't know how to listen for it).
I would like to listen for it in my main application where I can then change my viewstate to the logged-in state. However, the event never seems to get there. I listen for it by having loggedIn="loggedInHandler(event)" on my loginComponent.

I'm curious about event performance. I have a custom class that downloads files from a server and writes to your local system with AIR. This class has a few custom events that fire during a download process: File starts downloading, files finishes downloading, error occurred, progress, and a few others. This class was built for a specific project, but made coupled so it can be used for anything else wanting to download a file from a server. I'm starting to implement it into a new project, and a few events I'm not listening for, such as when the file starts downloading, or the progress of it, just the complete.
Does it strain overall performance having all the other events still dispatching, when I know they aren't being listened to? Would be be better to comment out the dispatchEvent() for the specifics I know aren't used, or does it even matter? There's obviously events dispatched throughout the SDK that aren't always listened for: Right click, drag, resize, etc. This makes me think it doesn't matter that these events fire but aren't handled, but since code is running and things are happening, that means there is performance going on.

Would it be possible for me to also dispatch non-custom events (like Event.CHANGE) from inside a class? I already did this with custom events which worked fine, but when I try to dispatch a the Event.CHANGE it will tell me that I am trying to convert a String into an Event (??). What I do is:[code]

When dispatching events in as3 I always have to extend class from sprite, or movieclip, but when I don't have display objects I don't wont to extend to sprite or movieclip. What is the most light class that I can extend, I mean no display object, and still do use event dispatching?

Im trying to dispatch and event from an XML class.dispatchEvent(new Event (XMLClass.INDEX_CHANGED));and catch it in the display class [code]I know that im missing something because the application works and the function runs but its not dispatching the event the event or maybe it's not catching the event in the display class, even though everything else is working and im not gettin' any errors.

I have been trying to get a grasp on dispatching events and have a few questions I am hoping you will all be nice enough to clearify for me.
Do I have to have a custom Event class to dispatch a custom event?
If so do I have to create a new intance of the event each time I want to dispatch an event. Example:
dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(MyEvent.TASK_COMPLETE));
or can I just dispatch an event once an instance has already previously been created.... example: dispatchEvent(MyEvent.TASK_COMPLET);?

Both class (Dispatcher & Listener) are Child class of a MXML application. Also listen to the event in the parent MXML application doens't work. Listen to the event in the dispatching class itself somehow works.
I have to feeling that the EventDispatcher class is not the right one to dispatch events to a mxml application or respectivly AS classes, which extend/inherent from a MXML component class.

I want to have a main logic class that listens for dispatched events from an assortment of other classes.
for instance: i have a parent Map class that contains X instances of a State class. When the user clicks on a State class, i want to dispatch an event CLICKED along with the name of the state.
now this Logic class will see this new event and process the name of the state and perform some other logic stuff. no matter what i try i can only get it to work where the State class listens for its own Dispatched event. Which to me seems a waste, i could have just manually called the function.
I have read so many tutorials online about custom events/ dispatching and they are being used in a basic one class example.

I have a key.addlistener setup to listen to key events.What I want to be able to do is to dispatch key events by for example a mouse click or just on load. I've tried a lot of possible solutions such as dispatchEvent with type as "onKeyDown" and "keyDown" etc.... but key listener simply do not treat it as a keyboard event.
Code: Select allvar eventObj = new Object();
eventObj.type = "keyDown";
eventObj.code = 13;
eventObj.ascii = 'e';

I have problems dispatching events from an external swf file.
The class that loads the file only receives the original events of actionscript (for example MouseEvent.CLICK, etc) and ignores others that are dispatched with a own event class or dispatched with a direct string in the type parameter. For example:
dispatchEvent(new PLYPubliEvent(PLYPubliEvent._OVERLAY_OPEN))
dispatchEvent(new Event("testtt"))
These events are dispatched from the loaded swf file in the main timeline.

Basically I am trying to create a string Validator which requests a new language from its controller by dispatching an event upon its creation.
The example below is a straight copy from the Flex3 component explorer - the only diffrence being that I have created the validator as a custom component which dispatches an event upon its creation.
The problem is that my main Application cannot hear the event being dispatched and I don't know why.
Here is the example

`i'have a problem with listening events dispatching from their child classes. for example i have contentManager object which is controlling content at the top level of stage. it has a imageGallery object and in the imageGallery objectthere ise a collectionLoader object which is loading images.
now i want to add one preloader to contentManager which always listen for ProgressEvent. when the progressEvent dispatched i want to preloader going to active. becouse there is another objects that are loading images or other kind of files. i think it is a good apporach to solve preloader issue. so my problem is, when collectionLoader object loading images with using queLoader. my QueueProgress event dispatches ProgressEvent evey time, but my preloader object stand at the 2 classes up level, doesn't percive this event.

I notice in actionscript 3 that when a handler gets called, its able to access the senders properties. If I dispatch an event from my custom class. can all the listeners inherit all my public properties and methods?

In Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.
Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:
Uploading chunk of size: 1000000
HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200
HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200
Completed chunk 1 of 108

In a nutshell I have a custom event that I am dispatching from one class that is not getting picked up by the other class even though i have added the appropriate addEventListener calls on its constructor.Here's how the classes are laid out:
application(class/parent)
- network(class/child)
- loginscreen(class/child)
The constructor of the Application class creates and stores references to the network and loginscreen classes:
ActionScript Code:
import com.fg.managers.NetworkManager;
import com.fg.screens.LoginScreen;[code].....
The NetworkManager class extends the MovieClip class as does the LoginScreen and Application classes as well.Now within the oLoginScreen class I dispatch the ValidateCredentialsEvent by calling it this way:
ActionScript Code:
dispatchEvent (new ValidateCredentialsEvent(ValidateCredentialsEvent.VALIDATE_CREDENTIALS, oLoginData, true, false));
Then when I debug the code, I can step through and see that the ValidateCredentialsEvent is being generated but it is never picked up by the oNetworkManager class whatsoever.Is this occuring because the NetworkManager and LoginScreen classes are children of the Application class and because of this can't capture events raised by one another without using the Application class as the intermediary to redispatch these events? My whole idea here was to create a generic network managing object that could be called from anywhere within the application, by any object, using custom events.

Alright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.

I have two document classes. The main document class creates a empty movieClip and adds it to the stage in which the second document classes published swf is loaded into. The second document class has a button component on the stage in which once clicked just traces 'hello' to the output window.
What I want to do is upon clicking this button a Event is dispatched from the second document class, to the main document class. Now, I've Googled everything in this known world and have tried to implement examples to no avail. I'm really at a loss right now yet I stubbornly intend to keep banging my head against the problem. Below I have pasted both document classes minus the examples I've tried to implement thus far.

I am developing a project where ClassA creates the instances of ClassB , ClassC and ClassD and adds the eventsDispatcher with them. ClassB and ClassC are able to dispatch the events back to ClassA which is fine. But ClassD is not dispatching the event. It only dispatch the event only when I call the dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.Complete)) function after giving 1 Second delay.

I'm working with an application which was originally designed to make heavy use of static-variables and functions to impose singleton-style access to objects. I've been utilizing Parsley to break apart some of the coupling in this project, and I'd like to start chiseling away at the use of static functions. I will explain the basic architecture first, and then I'll ask my questions. Within this application exists a static utility which sends/receives HTTP requests. When a component wishes to request data via HTTP, it invokes a static function in this class: Utility.fetchUrl(url, parameters, successHandler, errorHandler); This function calls another static function in a tracking component which monitors how long requests take, how many are sent, etc. The invocation looks very similar in the utility class:
