Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

This type of issue used to get me all the time with the classic Flex SDK. I'd have some subclass of Panel or something, but I'd have some kind of selectedItem property on it that dispatched Event.CHANGE. If I had a child that was a Slider or something, the slider's Event.CHANGE would bubble, and I'

Yes. That seems to be the case: https://github.com/google/closure-library/blob/608e0eaaa42bb5f041a7f067f254907d47edf7d1/closure/goog/events/eventtarget.js#L371 > On J

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

I think we can use setParentTarget to get bubbling to work reliably with custom events, but as Peter said, I don't think we want to set up parentTarget's just-in-case. Bubbling custom events is not a recommended practice as was mentioned in some other thread recently. Imagine if you had a Panel a

Re: [FlexJS] stopImmediatePropagation

I think other goog code updates currentTarget as needed. They are the same when no capture or bubbling, IIRC. -Alex On 7/20/17, 11:52 PM, "Harbs" wrote: >Yes. I need to copy the code from BrowserEvent. > >Interestingly, goog.Events does not distinguish between target and >currentTarget. That d

Re: [FlexJS] String.match()

My email totally mangled your post. Anyway, if you think you've got code that is equivalent to Flash's String.match, that's good enough for now. If folks find issues later we can improve on the utility function. If you want to alter the compiler output, see how I handled Array.sortOn in Function

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

I needed events to bubble for the drag and drop work. While that was fine for the Flash Player, the FlexJS/Google/Browser event mix didn't work. Alex suggested I used setParentTarget on the event to work up the tree and then the event would be dispatched at each level, thus mimicking bubbling. I di
