Re: [Flashcoders] dispatch event in 8

[Alain Rousseau]

Hi Amir,

I believe you have a scope problem here. The compiler doesn't know wich 
object is dispatching the event.
You should use your dispatcher object or instance to call that method. 
Also you now need to initialize your dispatcher object to the 
EventDispatcher class

for exemple :

   import mx.events.EventDispatcher;

   function dispatchEvent() {};
   function addEventListener() {};
   function removeEventListener() {};

   var myDispatcher:Object = new Object();
   mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(myDispatcher);

   var myListener:Object = new Object();
   myListener.onEvent = function() {
          trace("onEvent triggered");
   };

   myDispatcher.addEventListener("onEvent", myListener);



then later in your code you can trigger the event on a button click like 
this :

   myBtn.onRelease = function() {
          sendEvent();
   };

   function sendEvent():Void {
           var eventObject:Object = {target:myDispatcher, type:'onEvent'};
           myDispatcher.dispatchEvent(eventObject);
   }


This is how you should use events in Flash 8, read the docs, look for 
tutorials and you'll see similar examples or better

Hope this helps

Hello, after upgrading to flash 8 following line does not dispatch event 
anymore:
dispatchEvent({type:"klik", target:this, link:Tekst});
It works ok in flash 7. Anyone knows what could be the problem? I made 
component and this code is in components class. Are there some new things I 
need to watch out for in flash 8 related to event dipatching, initialising 
dispatcher, class, component, linkage, etc.? Thank in advance...
