Actionscript 3 :: Mate Not Listening To Events - Flex?
Jan 23, 2011
I am working on a simple project involving flex 4 and Mate framework. When I am including Mate event map in fx:declarations tag in mxml file, and when I fire up an event, Mate event handlers listen to events and act upon it.
The issue is this, in action script based project, when I instantiate the eventmap class(this is in mxml file only) and keep it in top and fireup an event, instantiated eventmap is not listening to event fired up from action script class.

I've got a class like this:
class Foo extends UIComponent {
var someDispatcher:*;
...
}
And I want to listen for events fired by someDispatcher... But, of course, someDispatcher may not be bound until "later":
<components:Foo someDispatcher="{someOtherComponent}" />
What's the best way to listen for events from someDispatcher?I know I could bind to someDispatcher, then wire up the event handlers when it's updated... Or I could use getters/setters...

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.

what the most efficient method is for listening for events up and down a string of parents and children? Example:
(these are parents from left to right) Main Sprite -> Child A -> Child B -> Child C
Child C fires and Event - what's the best way to have Main Sprite listen for it?
1) Make Child B and C "public" so Main Sprite can attach a listener all the way down on C (_childA._childB._childC.addEventListener)
2) Child C's event triggers a Child B event that triggers a Child A event that Main Sprite listens for

I have the Main class that imports my urlValidator class.My urlValidator class imports com.usual.swfaddress and thanks to the SWFAdressEvent fires the function dealing with the validation of the url.In some other class myMenu (child of the Main but on the other branch) I need to listen for the event of validation being completed.I'm importing myEvent (custom event) class to urlValidator and when the validation is complete I'm triggering the dispatchEvent.At the same time I'm importing the myEvent to myMenu class and trying to listen when the myEvent was dispatched (from urlValidator).

Basically I've build a small class that can be imported anywhere in the program and one of it's public methods dispatch a listener, which as I understand can be received anywhere. Is that correct? In my project I've got a menu which slides in and out. It's movement can be triggered mainly bu the buttons on the menu, but I also want to be able to controll it's movement from various places in the program. So i.e. it can slide in or out when something completely unrelated has been clicked. So I've got a class "SlidingPanel" and one of its children is class "SlidingPanelNavigation". SlidingPanelNavigation uses the class that only dispatches the Event, which should be listened in class "SlidingPanel" and the problem is - it doesn't.
My main class that holds the whole menu together:
Code:
package com.zeeto.menu {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
public class SlidingPanel extends MovieClip {
private var navigation :SlidingPanelNavigation;
[Code] .....
Why the SlidingPanel.slideMenu() isn't fired?

I am making a game that uses MVC pattern. The game.swf is loaded into main.swf. I want to dispatch a gameOver event from the Model Class of the game.swf and have the main.swf(parent) listen for it but I can't get it to work.
I have game.swf dispatching events fine amongst itself just fine but I can't get the parent to hear anything.
I tried this in the main.swf
Code: Select allvar loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function gameOver(e:Event):void
{

I'm creating an AIR application that loads a child SWF. The child needs to read keyboard input (for a game), which I usually do by adding a keyboard event listener to the stage property, like this: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUp)
However, the child SWF is apparently not allowed to access the stage property because the parent SWF owns the stage, so I get a security sandbox violation. So I need to do one of two things:
Bypass the security restriction allowing AIR to load SWFs that have an absolute path (local path), and allow that child to access the stage, orGet keyboard events to be heard by some display object other than the stage, without ever calling "stage" (this includes stage.focus).A few things I have tried already: Security.allowDomain() does not work. AIR thows an error saying that allowDomain doesn't work in the AIR sandbox. Also, adding the keyboard listener to the child's document class (then clicking inside the SWF) doesn't work.

I have a menu movieclip and an externally loaded swf on my main stage. The menu mc needs to control the externally loaded swf. For example the swf plays and pauses, then when any of the menu buttons are clicked the swf needs to play thru and be removed. currently I am dispatching an event for each button clicked with a switch statement. In the main timeline I need to listen for each of theses events and based on what button is clicked proceed to the correct content frame. How can I listen for different events and run one function that based on which event is registered perform a task with a switch or if statement?

`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'm creating a swf, that has a parent class and a child class. The parent class has a button, that dispatches a custom event and I want the child class to list for this event, but when I dispatch the event the child class does not hear the event has been dispatched.[code]The register EventListeners() function is in the child class.I know events can bubble up the display list but how can then go down the list?

From what I understand a framework reduces complexity in areas that are common, like a log-in system. I use ASP.NET MVC at work and have done some work in Zend Framework but do not get how a framework helps with client side development. The reason ASP.NET MVC is used at work is for Unit Testing - does a Flex framework help with this too? why I should or should not use a framework with Flex?

I'm using Mate's RemoteObjectInvoker to call methods in my FluorineFX based API. However, all requests seem to be sent to the server sequentiality. That is, if I dispatch a group of messages at the same time, the 2nd one isn't sent until the first returns. Is there anyway to change this behavior?

I am developing a Flex application on top of Mate framework. In this application, I am using a webservice to retrieve data.As this webservice as not a fix location URL (depending on where customers installed it), I define this URL in a config file.When the Flex application starts, it first reads this config file, then I would like to use the value I found to initialize the webservice.But currently, I have no idea how to this.

I'm working on a project that has a Main.fla and a Preload.fla. I am doing all the coding in Flash Builder 4. Each time I want to test I have to go to Flash CS5, publish Main.swf and then run Preload.swf. Is there a way to automate this process so I can just press the "Run Main" button inside Flash Builder 4 and all that is done automatically?

I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE
function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{
scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);
[code]....
I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.

If you once run an ObjectBuilder the object instantiated will be cached and next time you use an PropertyInjector or something else, the instantiated object will be used instead of creating a new object. Or at least this should be like this :) But in the example below it seems that mate tries to instantiate the object again: The following error occurs:

Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

With the change event I need to look for index 2 which is the last canvas when it changes to this canvas I need it to grab data from inputs from the previous two canvases.Within the viewstack events I've assigned the function change() to the event childIndexChange.
Here is the method:

Can I listen to Alert button click between components using AsyncToken?Basically, I want to have a method that opens an Alert with buttons and have it return an AsyncToken so that other components calling that method can listen for button click.
Example:

token.addResponder(new mx.rpc.Responder(buttonClick));
