Off the top of my head, when you instantiate a PropertyChangeEvent instead of an Event, the constructor is expecting more useful information about what field changed and when that information is missing / invalid the requisite bindings don't fire. But when the binding handlers get a generic event of name PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, they just assume the entire object has been updated and update all bindings to that object.
All just a guess tho ;-) -Josh On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 11:48 AM, Aaron Miller < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > when I do this: > > dispatchEvent( new PropertyChangeEvent(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE) > ); > > My bindings do not execute. > > > When I do this: > > dispatchEvent( new Event('propertyChange') ); > > They do (using default binding with no meta data specified). > > > What is what is the PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE event used for if > not for binding? > > > Thanks for any input! > ~Aaron > > > > > -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
