I wanted to ask any Flash gurus here if they have any best practices for troubleshooting Flash (custom) Events. I’m currently dealing with a couple of events that are supposedly being dispatched but never caught by the corresponding listeners.
Here is the list of things I’ve already checked for:
- Event names are defined as a String const in the custom event and the event name is used in the listener.
- Checked for Event bubbling (as explained here).
If anyone has any suggestion, It will be much appreciated.
I believe most frequent mistakes are:
1. Event listener added after event being already dispatched.
2. Non-overriden clone() and toString() methods for custom event.
3. Simply listening wrong objects/wrong events.
