I have an Flash AS3 project that loads external SWFs and controls them in different ways. On some of the loaded SWF files, they have a "Next Selection" button that takes you to a new presentation. On my main externally loaded SWF, I have the code: setTimeout(function() {dispatchEvent(new Event("nextPresentation", false));}, 4000); W...

Hi. I'm testing a Swing GUI application using the UISpec4J testing framework. I'm testing validation code on a JTextField, but the framework does not support focus-change events, as it runs the application in a headless fashion. The text field has a DocumentEvent attached to it that activates the validation code. I'm trying to figure o...
Is it possible to dispatch an event from an object when an event listener is added to that same object, without overriding the addEventListener method of that class? I am working on a modularized application in AS3. Several of the modules register events on a component in the main application mxml file. I would like to fire an event...
Update: Modified title to better reflect my question Hi everybody :) My question today revolves around a CustomEvent I'm trying to send from one sub Class to another.

Hi, I have a class which makes a url request and stores data from that request. When the data is retrieved, parsed, and stored into an array, I'm sending a dispatch event which I listen for in my document class. In the event handler function in the document class, I'm accessing the array that was compiled from the class. The array insid...
Hey this question is in reply to Joel Hooks's comment on an older question of mine (How to call a function in a Class from another Class?) I was able to fix my own problem using a public static var to reference one of my Classes, so in the other class I just needed to use the this keyword so it could be called. instance = this; // in N...

The Java docs indicate that java.awt.Component#dispatchEvent(AWTEvent e): Dispatches an event to this component or one of its sub components. Calls processEvent before returni...

I access these from a ViewStack in my main application. When I load listUsers.mxml it shows a list of current users in a datagrid via a HTTPService call. When...

I'd like to create an event loop mechanism in JavaScript/DOM using only dispatchEvent calls. For example: document.addEventListener("LoopingEvent", loop, true); var loop = function() { doSomeWork(); updateUI(); document.dispatchEvent(loopEvent); }; var loopEvent = document.createEvent('Events'); loopEvent.initEvent("Loopin...
