Thx for this sample ..a little liter and clearer than the Ralf’s one ;-)
Bubbling seems to work for me as mc1 captures event from mc2.
But I just don’t catch why mc2 does not capture its own event…It should as it listen to it too.. Am I wrong ?

Thanks a lot, Peter. I was facing a problem which is now quite logically solved using Bubbling. Its a pretty cool example, good work. Keep it up… :)

Francis Bourre made a good implementation of event bubbling in his PixLib framework.

Check this:
http://svn.sourcesecure.co.uk/osflash/pixlib/trunk/framework/src/com/bourre/events/

Although, Francis thinks that this part must be refactored, it’s a very good start point.

Cheers,
Stéphane.

Hi Peter,

thanx for this! Hadn’t thought about trying this until I read this post. I wrapped the bubble idea in a subclass of EventDispatcher for those that are inerested. You can grab it at

or just check the GPL file list on the main page of my site.

cheers, Julian

This is some sweeeeet action right here. I have an app that goes down so many layers. I’ve had to hack my way through, using result methods, adding mc prototype functions, and hardcoded _parent._parent.etc. more than I’d like to admit.

Why couldn’t I think of this? Would’ve saved me sooo much heartache!

Well, now I know. Like G.I. Joe would say, “And knowing is half the battle.” =)
