Re: [flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
Ahh, so that's how it works. I didn't realize there was more to the
constructor then a normal event. That will teach me not to check the API
reference first. ;-)
Thank you both for the info!

Re: [flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
It is used as the default Binding event and you can create one using the
static method createUpdateEvent on the PropertyChangeEvent class
var changeEvent:PropertyChangeEvent =
PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(changedObject,changedProperty,oldVal,newVal);
dispatchEvent(changeEvent);
That should fire the binding for the property you've updated.

Re: [flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
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 ;-)

[flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
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!
