Question

I am trying to create a custom ActionEvent. When I try to dispatch the event, the scene.dipatchEvent is asking me for a EventDispatcherChain object. I am not doing anything complex to actually create an implementation of a new EventDispatcherChain. How would I get default EventDispatcherChain so I can pass it to scene.dispatchEvent ?

EventType

public class SquirrelEventType extends EventType<SquirrelActionEvent> {

    public SquirrelEventType() {
        super("Squirrel.NotifyPreloader");
    }

}

Event

public class SquirrelActionEvent extends ActionEvent {

private Preloader.PreloaderNotification preloaderNotification;
private String details;
private double progress;

/**
 *
 */
public SquirrelActionEvent(double progress){
    preloaderNotification = new Preloader.ProgressNotification(progress);
}

public PreloaderNotification getPreloaderNotification() {
    return preloaderNotification;
}

public void setPreloaderNotification(PreloaderNotification preloaderNotification) {
    this.preloaderNotification = preloaderNotification;
}

Here is the call to dispatchEvent

SquirrelActionEvent event = new SquirrelActionEvent(0.1d);
mainScene.getEventDispatcher().dispatchEvent(event, null);

Events are simply send through Event.fireEvent() which is a static method.
