Sorry I sent that last message accidentally before finishing it...
To achieve the same thing in Royale, we need to make the following change
in org.apache.royale.events.EventDispatcher:
at location [1]
else if ("target" in event1) {
if (event1.target && "cloneEvent" in event1) {
event1 = event1.cloneEvent();
}
event1.target = _dispatcher;
}
Can anyone see issues with addressing this? There are quite a few cases
where this is needed in the emulation code.
