Dispatch Custom Event passing parameters

flagers — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:46:35 +0100

You can't pass parameters using dispatchEvent in As3 so the best way to do it is to create a custom class that extend the Event class.
You'll dispatch the new event in this way:

var e:CustomEvent = new CustomEvent(CustomEvent.FORM_SUBMITTED, nameTxt.text, surnameTxt.text);
this.dispatchEvent(e);

Following the CustomEvent class:
]]>

package events
{
	
  import flash.events.Event;
  
  public class CustomEvent extends Event
  {
  	public static const FORM_SUBMITTED:String = "FormSubmitted"
  	
    public var name:String;
    public var surname:String;
    
    public function CustomEvent( _type:String, _userName:String, _surName:String):void
    {
      super(_type);
      this.name = _userName;
      this.surname = _surName;
    }
    
    
    override public function clone():Event 
    {
       return new CustomEvent(type, name, surname);
    }
  }
}
