What do you mean "The EventDispatcher contains an instance of a sprite."
Normally what you would do is not create an instance of EventDispatcher, but instead have your custom class extend Sprite (which already extends EventDispatcher anyway), have that sprite dispatch a custom event. Then have your class listen to the instance of that class for the custom event you dispatch. So in summary, you write an event class, dispatch that custom event from the "sprite" class (the custom class that extends sprite) and listen for that event on that instance in your Singleton (the fact that it's a Singleton should be irrelevant). Your singleton class then has a handler you write that runs when the event is heard. Make sense?

I have a singleton that contains an instance of an EventDispatcher. The EventDispatcher contains an instance of a sprite. I want that sprite to dispatch a custom event that is listened to by the singleton, but I can't seem to make it happen, even by saying bubbles = true. I could have a listener on the EventDispatcher, then dispatch another event going one level higher to the singleton, but I'm wondering if there's a way to bypass that sort of step by step architecture. I thought that within the singleton, I could have referred directly to the sprite itself within the EventDispatcher, but I have not been able to do that either. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks! - Michael M. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
