What the title says.
I have in my native code :
freContext.dispatchStatusEventAsync("myEvent","");
in the as3 part of the ane :
private static function onStatus( event:StatusEvent ):void {
if(event.code == MyEvent.EVENT_NAME){ // EVENT_NAME = "myEvent"
displayToast("dispatching event");
dispatcher.dispatchEvent(MyEvent(MyEvent.EVENT_NAME));
}
}
and in my flex application (MyAppHomeView.mxml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
title="Home View"
initialize="createListener()">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
protected function createListener():void{
MyANE.showDialogMessage("init");
addEventListener(MyEvent.EVENT_NAME,handleEvent);
}
protected function handleEvent(event:MyEvent):void{
MyANE.showDialogMessage("myEvent");
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
</s:View>
I do get the "dispatching event" toast (which means the native code part works fine), but not the "myEvent" dialog. What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks to Organis comment and adobe's example here : https://github.com/nweber/SystemVolumeNativeExtension/blob/master/VolumeTest/src/VolumeTest.mxml I managed to fix my problem :
First MyAne class must extends EventDispatcher. Then in onStatus :
private function onStatus( event:StatusEvent ):void {
if(event.code == MyEvent.EVENT_NAME){ // EVENT_NAME = "myEvent"
displayToast("dispatching event");
dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(MyEvent.EVENT_NAME));
}
}
and in the mxml, create an instance of MyANE and call addEventListener on it.
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var ane:MyANE = new MyANE();
protected function createListener():void{
MyANE.showDialogMessage("init");
ane.addEventListener(MyEvent.EVENT_NAME,handleEvent);
}
protected function handleEvent(event:MyEvent):void{
MyANE.showDialogMessage("myEvent");
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
