I have an event listener for a custom event type. This custom event overrides the clone method as required.
In this event listener I want to dispatch an instance of a different type of event... a different custom event instance altogether. It also overrides the clone method as required.
The problem is I'm getting a type coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: ...
I do not know what is trying to do the casting. My code is:
/* elsewhere in a method */
addEventListener(GestureEvent.GESTURE_SCALE, handlePinched);
/* the event handler */
private function handlePinched(e:GestureEvent):void
{
dispatchEvent(new BezelEvent( BezelEvent.PINCH, e ));
}
BezelEvent.PINCH
evaluates to "__bezel_event_pinch"
which is a unique string that isn't colliding with other events.
And yet, I'm getting this type coercion... Yes, it's in a "dispatchEvent loop" handling an event, but dispatching a different event based on some event seems like a SUPER common and trivial scenario. Can anyone figure out why it's trying to convert my new BezelEvent instance to a GestureEvent instance??
