Question

I have class EventManager with method:

public function addEvent(obj:IEventDispatcher, event:String, listener:Function, 
       useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, 
       useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void 
{           
   obj.addEventListener(event, listener, useCapture, priority, useWeakReference);
   [here event is pushed in my stack]    
}

I want to do this:

public class CustomClass extends Sprite
{    
    public override function addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, 
           useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, 
           useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void
    {
        eventManager.addEvent(this, type, listener, useCapture, priority, useWeakReference);            
    }    
}

but in a result call stack is:

   customClass.addEventListener ->

   eventManager.addEvent ->

   customClass.addEventListener ->

   eventManager.addEvent ->

   customClass.addEventListener ->

   ...

and so on… because I invoke obj.addEventListener in eventManager.addEvent

Maybe can you give me a solution of this problem?

Answer 1

You created a recursive loop since you in event manager calls the addEventlistener function on object which calls the event manager etc… What you probably meant to do was to only store a reference to the object and the parameters inside event manager and not actually calling the addEventlistener-function from there.
