[flexcoders] flex newbie - dispatchEvent question

Thu, 20 Apr 2006 10:21:54 -0700

Hi!

I have to mention first that I'm new in Flex.
I have started to develop a small application using Cairngorm, just to
get more into it.
But I have faced  a problem,  my Command is never executed. It seams the
Event I'm sending is lost somewhere.
So I made a small test (to see if I'm getting the whole dispatchEvent
thing):
Below is my code. The onTestEvent() is never called.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Andi

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*"

        <![CDATA[
          
            [Bindable]
            public var status:String = "";
          
            public function onComplete():void {
                status += "Add Event Listener...\n";
                Application.application.addEventListener("test",
onTestEvent);
            }
          
            public function onTestEvent():void {
                Application.application.status += "Test Event occured...\n";
            }
          
            public function dispatchTextEvent():void {
                var event:Event = new Event("test");
                dispatchEvent( event );
                status += "Event Dispatched...\n";
            }
        ]]>

    <mx:Button x="66" y="56" label="dispatch event"
click="dispatchTextEvent()" />
    <mx:TextArea x="66" y="123" width="393" height="243" text="{status}"/>
