John, I think so but what I am trying to do it set up a BtnFunc Class that I
can pass an argument to in order to set up the functionality of the button
(argument bein the button instance name). I am pretty close I have this so far:
FLA (with btnOnStage on stage):
import mx.utils.Delegate;
function handleEvent(eventObj) {
trace('handleConstruct')
trace(eventObj.target);
trace(eventObj.type);
trace(eventObj.message);
trace(eventObj.time);
}
var myBtnClass = new BtnFunc(0, btnOnStage);
myBtnClass.addEventListener('click', Delegate.create(this, handleEvent));
----------------------
Class (BtnFunc.as):
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class BtnFunc {
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
function BtnFunc(id, btn) {
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
btn.onRelease = function() {
trace('dispatching event');
dispatchEvent({type:'click', target:this, message:btn+'
was clicked'});
};
}
}
It is firing off the event perfectly but my listener is not getting it and thus
not running the handleEvent func. What's the prob?
var myClass = new Timer(1000);
myClass.addEventListener('timeout', Delegate.create(this, handleConstruct));
