Hey Dan, I like the way you do it, its pretty simple. But here is, what probably will be an incredibly stupid question:
How do I capture the event? Thanks, V I personally use an extremely simplified way of dealing with events. I've used EventDispatcher before, but it feels like overkill most of the time. I realize my method has no ability to multicast events, but it's quick, easy to read and gets the job done. Here's an example: ___________________________ // WidgetManager.as import mx.utils.Delegate; class WidgetManager { private var _widget1:Widget; private var _widget2:Widget; public function WidgetManager (timeline:MovieClip) { _widget1 = new Widget(1, timeline.widget1_mc); _widget1.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event _widget2 = new Widget(2, timeline.widget2_mc); _widget2.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event } private function widgetClick (eventObj:Object):Void { trace("widget " + eventObj.id + " was clicked"); eventObj.target.clickEvent = null; // remove event } } ___________________________ // Widget.as import mx.utils.Delegate; class Widget { public var clickEvent:Function; // event method private var _id:Number; private var _buttonMC:MovieClip; public function Widget (id:Number, mc:MovieClip) { _id = id; _buttonMC = mc; _buttonMC.onPress = Delegate.create(this, buttonPress); } public function buttonPress ():Void { clickEvent({target:this, id: _id}); } } On Sep 26, 2006, at 12:09 PM, Sean Scott wrote: > Hi All!, > > wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
