DispatchEvent - bug in my code

Question

I cant find bug in my code.
In main document class I have created new instance of a AI class and and an listener for a custom event as fallows:
_ai = new AI(_param1, _param2);
_ai.addEventListener("decisionMade", bestOptionFound, false, 0, false);
private function bestOptionFound(evt:Event):void{
     trace("hello");
Then in AI class I do all my logic and after its finished I run a function that dispach event for a main class:
Inside AI class:
private function bestOptionSet():void{
     var boole:Boolean = hasEventListener("decisionMade");
     var boole2:Boolean = willTrigger("decisionMade");
     dispatchEvent(new Event("decisionMade", false, false));
     trace(boole);
     trace(boole2);
     trace("function works");     
So my trace statements give me information that my function working fine, but  there is no listener attached to my AI class (boole and boole2 =  false). thats why my handler cant be triggered.
So Instance of my class AI is working fine and all function inside it working fine as well. But there is no listeners attached to that class as my trace statements tell me. But I add "_ai.addEventListener("decisionMade", bestOptionFound, false, 0, false);".
Any ideas?

Answer 1

you're dispatching your event BEFORE you're adding your listener.
