I apologize, I mislead you. My EventDispatcher is no longer a problem and
the issue I face now seems to be different. I can only duplicate it making a
component class that extends MovieClip. The issue is that the for..i..in
loop stops after a gotoAndStop.
class Test extends MovieClip
{
var list:Object;
function Test()
{
list =
{
one:"one",
two:"two",
three:"three",
four:"four",
five:"five"
};
for (var i in list)
{
trace(i);
gotoAndStop(list[i]);
}
}
}
If you define this class and set it up as a component in the Library you
will see that only "one" is traced out. Then you can comment out the
gotoAndStop(); and it loops through all 5. It behaves the same whether or
not these frames actually exist.

I would love to help on this but I need a little more context. From what I
can gather it looks as if you're trying to dispatch an event a series of
events and have the corresponding listener/handler do something? Is that
correct?
As Kevin stated, it would be better to have a class backing these
different
movie clips that dispatch events that trigger another clip to do something
when said events occurs.
