function onSomeButtonPressed(colour:String)
{
trace(The +red+ button was pressed!);

and also to pass additional parameters to existing callback function.

Hello :)
You can use my Delegate implementation too in VEGAS Framework :
-
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/vegas/events/Delegate.as(
vegas.events.Delegate class)
- http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/events/(example
with Delegate and Event Model EventDispatcher, etc..)
- http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/vegas/events/ (package
vegas.events)

RE: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
Delegate simply tells the code you're delegating to run in the scope of a particular object. So there are all sorts of ways you could use it. It basically creates a function that runs in the scope you indicate, but can be attached to any object. This most commonly comes in handy in the context of event listeners, but there's nothing about Delegate that makes it inherently tied to the component framework. It works with any kind of objects.

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
Hello :)
you can show your mx package in Flash installation : C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\Classes
In this directory you find mx.utils.Delegate class !
Now in flash you can use this class :
[code]
import mx.utils.Delegate ;
var o = {} ;
o.toString = function () {
return myCustomScope ;
}
var action:Function = function () {
trace( + this + : action) ;
}
// test1 - scope is the _root
action() ;
// test2 - scope is o your custom scope.
var myAction:Function = Delegate.create(o, action) ;
myAction() ;
// test3 - scope is a MovieClip with mc this instance's name
mc.onRelease = action ; // if you release your mc, use action with mc scope
(classic)
mc.onPress = Delegate.create(o, action) ; // if you press your mc, use
custom scope
[/code]

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
the Delegate class is useful whenever you are trying to control the
scope of a method call. Normall, when you do something like:
//code on _root
my_mc.onPress = function(){
trace(this);
}
the onPress function is assigned to my_mc. this means that when you
use this inside code inside the onPress function, you will be
referring to my_mc (the code above would output _level0.my_mc).
Most of the time, people will want to create a separate function to
run when the onPress event occurs (or when an onLoad event occurs in
an XML or LoadVars object).
//code on the _root timeline
my_mc.onPress = Delegate.create(this, myPressFunction);
function myPressFunction(){
trace (this)
}
this code would output _level0. This means that you can still run
the function in it's normal scope and still have normal references to
other variables and methods in the same scope. This comes in most
handy whe you are dealing with classes, where you'd want to reference
methods and properties in your class when an event occurs, but you
don't want the mehod (such as onPress) being scoped to the object that
produced the event.

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
Delegate, sadly, is a necessity. I very rarely use components. I use Delegate all the time. (Or rather, my own hand-rolled version, which deals properly with arguments - there are a bunch of such replacement versions knocking around.)

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
While not as elegant, you can get around this issue delegate-free with
the following:
class SomeClass {

function SomeClass(mc:MovieClip){
var thisObj = this;
// Set a reference to this
mc.onRelease = function(){
thisObj.onRelease.call(thisObj);

function onRelease(){

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
Do you really need the call bit ? Can you not just do something like:
var host=this;
mc.onRelease=function(){
host.fireFunction();
}
function fireFunction(){
trace(function called)
}
You can use delegates for more than just components - I use delegate most
often when I want an item/class to have a public no-op function that I can
overwrite outside of it - like a layoutclass that draws items to the
stage, i might want to overwrite what it does when its finished laying
stuff out- a totally made up example might be :
var LM:LayoutManager=new LayoutManager();
LM.onLayoutComplete=Delegate.create(this,layoutChildren);
LM.doLayout(grid,items);
function layoutChildren():Void{
trace( layout is done);
}
Alot of people complain that you can't pass parameters with delegate. Well
you can, a multiple of ways, and if you structure your code with some
forethought, you can have it pass params if you are delegating a function
structured do so. I would argue that if its not flexible enough for you ,
then maybe you need to revisit your architecure and determine if Delegate
is what you need or if you're really in need of using something else such
athe dispatch scenerio. One thing to remember is that Delegate is just a
function, and therefore you can add properties to it and have a reference
to it. I don't know how proper that is, but it works.
var myDelegate:Function =mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,onComplete);
myDelegate.someProperty=foo;
myButton.addEventListener(click,myDelegate);
function onComplete(obj:Object):Void{
trace(arguments.caller.someProperty)
}
While not as elegant, you can get around this issue delegate-free with
the following:
class SomeClass {
private var a:Number = 3;
function SomeClass(mc:MovieClip){
var thisObj = this;
// Set a reference to this
mc.onRelease = function(){
thisObj.onRelease.call(thisObj);
}
}
function onRelease(){
trace(this.a: +this.a);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...
The whole point of a Delegate type class is to eliminate having to type
those 4 lines of code every time you want to handle an event from somwhere
else without messing up the scope.

Re: [Flashcoders] The Delegate class ...

function onRelease(){
trace(this.a: +this.a);

Not much, just cleaner and more convenient code. You code can be
rewritten as:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class SomeClass {
private var a:Number = 3;
function SomeClass(mc:MovieClip){
mc.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,onRelease);
}
function onRelease(){
trace(this.a: +this.a);
}
}
It's shorter, cleaner, less typing, and accomplishes exactly the same
thing. Except you could also do this:
mc.onRelease = Delegate.create(_root.someotherclip,onRelease);
...or...
mc.onRelease = Delegate.create(_parent._parent,onRelease);
...and so on. You could, of course, do the same thing by defining
thisObj as whatever scope you want to use, but it just seems cleaner and
easier to do it with Delegate. The only downside being passing parameters,
but that can be gotten around.
