[Flashcoders] AS2 EventDispatcher problem

2008-10-02 Thread Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle) 

hi guys - i could really use some help here

I have a swf, 'swf', that has a movieclip called 'clip' placed on  
stage that uses the following class in it's linkage


all of this is loaded into another swf with moviecliploader

[code]
import com.receptacledesign.events.EventClip

class com.Clip extends EventClip
{
public function Lex()
{
super();

trace(Lex is here);
trace(_root._currentframe);
}

public function fireEvent(evt:String):Void
{
trace(evt);
dispatchEvent({target:this, type:EventClip.FINISHED});
}
}
[/code]

The fireEvent method of Clip is called from the timeline of the clip

once the onLoadInit event fires, i'm trying to listen to it within the  
main class using the following line:


[code]
swf.clip.addEventListener(EventClip.FINISHED, Delegate.create(this,  
animationFinished));

[/code]

but the event never gets picked up (i have a trace in the  
animationFinished method to see if it's working) even tho the  
fireEvent method traces correctly (with the trace(evt));


is it possible to do what i'm trying to do or have i done something  
stupid?


thanks
allandt

Where's the code for EventClip? Without that, we can't be much help. :-)

Also - does trace(swf.clip) return something sensible on the timeline?
(Just so you know you're targeting the right object when using
addEventListener)

HTH,
