Your interactions with this site are in This method allows the registration of event listeners on the event Bubbling is different than dispatching directly, so the target should change when you call dispatchEvent(), at least in my opinion.

and Member The interface allows registration and Note that while formally there are 3 phases, the 2nd phase (“target phase”: the event reached the element) is not handled separately: handlers on both capturing and bubbling … Nodes in an implementation which supports the DOM This method allows the dispatch of events into the implementations To me, that situation results in a completely new "event source", to use your term. Scripting on this page tracks web page traffic, but does not change the content in any way. All parents and children are EventDispatcher and I want to use beautiful idea of bubbling events.

This method allows the registration of event listeners on the event Try hard-refreshing this page to fix the error. This is true for bubbling events, and for redispatched event with flash.events.EventDispatcher, but there is great chance of my incomprehension. I thought I had understood the event model, but apparently not. If I were you, I would probably extend EventDispatcher and override dispatchEvent() to support a new branch for bubbling over your custom type.

There is another twist in my program, this event was often dispatched, and internal starling event pooling brilliantly solves performance issues. W3C liability, target. Copyright Submit a bug or feature For further API reference and developer documentation, see Java SE Documentation.

Events dispatched in this manner will have the same I have always thought that target - is a event source (first EventDispatcher which dispatch this event), and currentTarget is there dispatcher which currently dispatch this event. All rights reserved.


Such events are commonly called synthetic events, as opposed to the events fired by the browser itself.. Why dispatchEvent must change event target property if it is not null (dispatcher is not first)?

If it’s true, then the handler is set on the capturing phase. Events can be created with the Event constructor as follows:.

Standards information.

And thank you very much for your solution! EventTarget and dispatch of events to that If an EventListener is added to an EventTarget while it is processing an event, it will not be triggered by the current actions but may be triggered during a later stage of event flow, such as the bubbling phase. ... (ie I > use dispatchEvent and my custom event is heard at the app level via > bubbling). binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification. That's where I see the difference. It doesn't call dispatchEvent() at every step. Maybe you can reuse bubbleEvent() and invokeEvent(), but you may need to put your class in the starling.events package, since they're namespace is internal. child.addEventListener(Event.TYPE, dispatchEvent); // Trick to not create handler target. Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification, Section 4.3; Remarks.

target. Using dispatchEvent ?. It calls an internal function instead, so it's not creating a new "event source" like a call to dispatchEvent() would. This is not technical problem to inherit Event & EventDispatcher classes but most common of their code was duplicate existing Starling code (pooling, resetting), and I think it is not good . Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification.

And when other code catch this event (from parent EventDispatcher): event.target == child const event = new Event('build'); // Listen for the event.

This site is best viewed in a modern browser with JavaScript enabled. I look starling.events.EventDispatcher code and found lines (in dispatchEvent function): Then event target property do not changed by redispatch, and it solve my problem . event model. I find that unexpected, personally, and Starling's behavior is what makes sense to me.
