I have a pretty good handle on dispatching from classes other than the Document Class, but what happens when I want to dispatch an event from the Document class and have other classes listen to the document class broadcast?
It seems like there are several ways to approach this (i.e using a Singleton, using composition, using MovieClip(root)) I was just wondering what people find is the “best practice” way to do this?
Simple: Don’t do it.
Why can’t you just tell the objects what to do? The Document Class is at the top of the hierarchy, it should be able to manipulate objects directly. Objects lower down the hierarchy should dispatch up, but not down.
