Urgent: How to add event listeners to a null object?

I have an object that is lazy loaded, and therefore starts out null.
How can I add an event listener onto this null object, so that it fires whenever the object is instantiated?
WHY does arrayCollection.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGED, function) not work??
Thanks!

C,
the answer to your question "WHY does arrayCollection.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGED, function) not work??" is that addEventListener is not a static method, ie it has to be attached to an actual instance. I agree that in your situation it would be handy to have it as static, something like ArrayCollection.addEventListener(etc) but I'm not at all sure that is a good plan in general, as usually we want events to fire from an actual instance of the class, not generically. A quick look through the adobe docs has convinced me there are not many static methods at all, and none that appear to help you.
I take it from your description that you don't know exactly when the collection is instantiated? But presumably though you do have a point where new is called? Or something equivalent like populating it from something else?

  • Add event listeners to dynamically loaded symbols?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to dynamically load different MovieClips based on user input. Several of those clips have embedded url link symbols. How can I add event listeners to the url links if the dynamically loaded MovieClip does not have an instance name? Seems like I can (right?) apply an instance name when the clip is loading, but the event listener doesn't compile because the name is not there yet, so that seems out.
    Am I on right track?

    Are you saying that you will instnatiate this symbol several times and each time url for this link is going to be different?
    There are at list two ways to deal with it.
    1. Inside symbol you can dispatch a custom event once it is clicked:
    myLink.addeventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
    function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
         dispatchEvent(new Event("linkClick"));
    Wherever you instantiate the symbol (perhaps on timeline):
    var symbolInstance:MySymbol = new MySymbol();
    symbolInstance.addEventListener("linkClick", onLinkClick);
    function onLinkClick(e:Event):void {
         // do whatever
    Second way would be to pass url value into symbol instance itself and deal with with it on a symbol level. I personally prefere way 1.

  • How to add events in JTable fields

    Hello friends i m working with file transfer client server project in my college.In my client part i have used JTable with AbstractTableModel.
    In my JTable it list the current directory files and directories under current directory .
    now how can i add events to the the directories that it shows on JTable so that when i click on directory it displays files under that selected directory.
    can anyone help me in that.
    I will send you my code for that project if anyone can help me.
    please help me to do that

    You can handle row selections with selection listener but if you want to handle double clicks you can use something similar to this:
    table.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
    int column = table.columnAtPoint(e.getPoint());
    int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
    Object cellValue = table.getValueAt(row, column); 
    // Insert files below clicked row
    });Please, be more patient in the future -you would probably get an answer if you just posted to any of these two forums.

  • Loading/Unloading a .swf that adds event listeners to the Stage

    Hi all,
    Disclaimer
    Apologies if I suck so bad at using forum search that the answer to this is on page 1 somewhere; I tried...
    Question
    I am loading and unloading a .swf to which I do not have source code access. This .swf places several event listeners on the stage, as far as I can tell. When the .swf is unloaded, the event listeners placed upon the stage still seem to be in effect. Using unloadAndStop doesn't seem to do it, and I have to target Flash Player 9, anyway, so can't really use it. Is there any other way I can keep this external .swf from holding onto my main movie's stage?
    Additional info
    All eventListeners and references being set by my code are removed.
    I've managed a little contact with the author of the .swf:
    I've requested he provide a dispose() method I can call to get all the listeners removed, and send an updated .swf.
    He's suggested that I should be able to avoid the problem by loading into a unique ApplicationDomain. I'm not terribly familiar with this, but have given it a try without much success. Is this a valid solution - can I really protect my 'stage' by properly using ApplicationDomains - or do I need to persist in trying to get a public dispose() method built in?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers, John
