SWFAddress CHANGE Event, dispatch Object

Question

Is there a way to dispatch a SWFAdresss CHANGE Event but also pass parameters (an Object) along with it?

I see something like that in the documentation but I can't find an example online...

Answer 1

You could modify the SWFAddressEvent class like so:

 private var _customObject:Object;

public function SWFAddressEvent(type:String, customObject:Object, bubbles:Boolean = false,  cancelable:Boolean = false) {
        super(type, bubbles, cancelable);

        _customObject = customObject;
    }

and then when you dispatch the CHANGE event, add the object to the Event:

dispatchEvent(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, customObject);

To make the Object publically available:

public function get publicCustomObject():Object
{
    return _customObject;
}
