FLEX: why the event is only listened by the dispatcher component ?
- by Patrick
hi,
I've a parent (Canvas) with many children (LinkButtons)
The linkButtons trigger an event to communicate between them:
dispatchEvent(new SameBookmarkEvent("SameBookmarkEvent", bookmark.name));
and all linkButtons have a listener
this.addEventListener("SameBookmarkEvent", highlightMe);
...
private function highlightMe(e:SameBookmarkEvent):void {
//do something
}
Now, the issue is that the event is only listened by the dispatcher child. In other words, only the child triggering the event, is receiving it. I was wondering what's wrong with it, and if I should add a listener to the parent (Canvas)...
I basically need the children (LinkButton) communicate between them
