Dear Oliver,

Thanks for ur comment.

Have u changed at myCustomEvent ? in myCustomEvent class i have set the type of myMessage as string. But you are passing the message as object. So its need to change the myMessage as Object or u can set * for any type.

package wneeds.events{

import flash.events.Event;

public class myCustomEvent extends Event {

public var myMessage:*;

public function myCustomEvent(msg) {

super("myCustomEvent");
myMessage = msg;
}
}
}

Try it . i think it should work.

Hi,
great tutorial, i got it so far working as i can send the one var back to e.myMessage

But when i try you example line with multi values , i get stuck and only get erros.

can you make a example how the myCustomEvent class needs to look if i
dipatch this message.:
dispatchEvent(new myCustomEvent({Amode:'tma',SID:this.SID,MYID:this.MYID,PRID:this.PRID,TYP:this.TYP}));

where SID, MYID,PRID,TYP are all byte arrays.
Best regards Oliver

Not from the timeline, but receive event from other class (that linkaged by a movieclip). Example, from first class after finished some tween, I want to control other movieclip that do something. To do that, I want to access other class from the first class. After access that class, I can control that Movieclip.

Dear Purwanto

Thanks for ur comment.

The following code need to write where you want to call the event. first u need to import the custom event class. then u need to call the dispatchEvent method to call ur custom event. This is not a part of myCustomEvent Class. Here you just using the myCustomEvent class. :)
**************
import wneeds.events.myCustomEvent; //import ur class here
dispatchEvent(new myCustomEvent("Hello ...")); // call your custom event.
*******************

To track the event in any where of ur code u need to put the following code:
**********
addEventListener("myCustomEvent", showMessage);
function showMessage(e:myCustomEvent):void {
trace(e.myMessage);
}
*********************
I'm not clear about your last question. Do you want to call a event from a movieclip and receive the event from main timeline?

I'm still confused about custom event. I have search many many sample but it's still make me don't get it. I like the sample that you have above, but I don't know which code will act as document class. Thus, in the part ..."dispatchEvent("new MyCustomEvent("Hello....")); >> it's still the same class with the myCustomEvent class or other new class??
Oh yeah, this custom Event can do something like accessing other movieclip object that have linkage with a class, can it?
