Re: [Flashcoders] Can Variables have listeners?
Hello :) open Flash help (F1) and search in the actionscript dictionnary Object.watch and Object.unwatch :) EKA+ :) 2006/5/26, Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello All, I have a ton of components scattered throughout my application, and most of them react to changes of a specific variable. It's getting really old, having to manually write code - that updates all these controls with the new value of a specific variable, when a specific variable changes. It would be nice to just have ONE function, that propagates all the changes to all my controls, and then have an active listener applied to a variable which automatically triggers that specific function. Am I overlooking something, or is there a better way to do something like this? Thank you all in advance, for any suggestions you can throw my way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Can Variables have listeners?
Sounds like you want to wrap the variable(s) in a class and have that class broadcast events that your components can listen for and react to. I haven't gotten to the chapter yet, but I think Moock's Essential Actionscript 2.0 describes it in Chapter 352 (Observer Design Pattern) Alternatively, you might do it by using mx.events.EventDispatcher in your wrapper class. - phaedrus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 1:22 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Can Variables have listeners?

*heh* Didn't know that existed. Much simpler than my recommendation. - phaedrus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of eka Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 1:55 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Can Variables have listeners?

Re: [Flashcoders] Can Variables have listeners?
You might also look into mx.events.EventDispatcher (and to avoid scoping issues, mx.utils.Delegate).
