Because the events are dispatched in the MainApp. Your BasePanel dont receive the event.
-------------------- Application -------------------- + MainApp -------------------- + BasePanel -------------------- The event is dispatched on the MainApp layer, so, even using bubbles you wont get the event, cause the bubbles goes up. You could try to add the listener on the Application layer, and use bubbles, or, use the observer pattern, create a singleton class to dispatch the event, and add the listener on it. -----Mensagem original----- De: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] Em nome de lorenzo.boaro Enviada em: segunda-feira, 15 de dezembro de 2008 10:09 Para: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Assunto: [flexcoders] Custom event--please help me Hi i've a problem..anibody can help me? i created this class: public class CompleteEvent extends Event { private var array:ArrayCollection public function CompleteEvent(type:String, array:ArrayCollection) { super(type); this.array = array; } public override function clone():Event { return new CompleteEvent(type, array); } } the main class create the array through a socket connection within the socket listeners for Socket.DATA...in the method listeners dispatch the event... [Event(name="newEvent", type="CompleteEvent")] public class MainApp{ .... socket.addEventListeners(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketData); ... private function socketData(event:Event):void { ...some code to create array from server data... //dispatch event var dipsatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); var ev:CompleteEvent = new CompleteEvent("newEvent", array); dispatcher.dispatchEvent(ev); } } and this other class listens for the event public class BasePanel extends Panel { private function dataEventHandler():void { trace("Array retrieved"); } public function BasePanel() { super(); this.addEventListener("newEvent", dataEventHandler); } } but not working the BasePanel class doesn't listen for the event.. thanks a lot Regards Lorenzo ------------------------------------ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf- 1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!
