copied!<p>As an adjunct to the answer by Christophe Herreman, and in case you were wondering, here is a way of making your own events...</p> <pre><code>package yourpackage.events { import flash.events.Event; [Event(name="EV_Notify", type="yourpackage.events.EV_Notify")] public class EV_Notify extends Event { public function EV_Notify(bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false) { super("EV_Notify", bubbles, cancelable); } } } </code></pre> <p>I have taken the liberty of setting the default value of <code>bubbles</code> to true and passing the custom event type to the super constructor by default, so you can then just say...</p> <pre><code>dispatchEvent(new EV_Notify()); </code></pre> <p>In your particular case I doubt there are times when you would not want your event to bubble.</p> <p>The prefix <code>EV_</code> on the name is my own convention for events so I can easily find them in the code completion popups, you'll obviously pick your own name.</p> <p>For the two cases you cite you can either have two events and listen for both of them, or add a property to the event which says what just happened, which is the approach which is taken by controls like <code>Alert</code>...</p> <pre><code>package yourpackage.events { import flash.events.Event; [Event(name="EV_Notify", type="yourpackage.events.EV_Notify")] public class EV_Notify extends Event { public static var BUTTON_PRESSED:int = 1; public static var ANIMATION_ENDED:int = 2; public var whatHappened:int; public function EV_Notify(whatHappened:int, bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false) { this.whatHappened = whatHappened; super("EV_Notify", bubbles, cancelable); } } } </code></pre> <p>then you call it as follows...</p> <pre><code>dispatchEvent(new EV_Notify(EV_NOTIFY.ANIMATION_ENDED)); </code></pre> <p>you can then inspect the whatHappened field in your event handler.</p> <pre><code>private function handleNotify(ev:EV_Notify):void { if (ev.whatHappened == EV_Notify.ANIMATION_ENDED) { // do something } else if (ev.whatHappened == EV_Notify.BUTTON_PRESSED) { // do something else } etc... } </code></pre> <p>HTH</p>
