In my opinion this problem comes up so often because of bad design in the libraries.
If the libraries were written to support the observer pattern rather than all this anonymous function / function binding the world would be a better place, ok, the technique itself is useful and slightly more compact than observer, but its very confusing at first. I guess it was an inevitable side effect of the transition from AS1 to AS2 without any change in the underlying model. anyway, lets not get too excited, if someone knows of a good article that explains this clearly with good examples, please post the link and i'll make a reference to it from the flashcoders faq section on the osflash wiki. http://osflash.org/flashcoders/as2 thanks, Martin _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
