addEventListener doesn´t work

[FFighter]

Well, I have a nested ProgressBar component within my own component. My component´s class extends from UIComponent. The PBar class also extends from UIComponent so it should have support for the eventDispatcher stuff right? In the draw() method I´m trying to register a listener to the "complete" event of the ProgressBar but it just doesn´t fire the function in the object:

function draw() {

pbar = lmc.createClassObject(ProgressBar,"pbar",lmc.getNextHighestDepth());

var pbar_listener:Object = new Object();
pbar_listener.complete = function(eo:Object) {
trace("called!");
}

pbar.addEventListener("complete",pbar_listener);

}


if I just specify the callback for the complete, then it works:



pbar.complete = function() {
trace("works");
}



What could be wrong?

Change:

var pbar_listener:Object = new Object();

to:

pbar_listener:Object = new Object();

Since you are using the var keyword, your listener is probably being deleted when the function completes, and before the callback is fired...

Thanks for the reply

I´m using SE|PY and MTASC to debug... it throws a error if I don´t use the var keyword there... anyway, I removed the declaration from the function and put in the class scope...


class mycomp extends UIComponent {
private var pbar_listener:Object;

}


it still doesn´t work :(

EDIT:

For the sake of testing, I gave up my component´s code for a while and created an empty .fla .... The .fla has the Loader and the ProgressBar components in its library and this AS code in the first frame and nothing else:


import mx.controls.ProgressBar;
import mx.controls.Loader;

var pbarrogressBar;
var loadr:Loader;
var plbject;

pl = new Object();
pbar = _root.createClassObject(ProgressBar, "pbare",1);
loadr = _root.createClassObject(Loader,"loader",2);
loadr.contentPath = "asd.jpg";


pl.complete = function() {
trace("event fired");
}


trace(_root["pbare"]);
pbar.addEventListener("complete",pl); //desn´t work?

pbar.source = loadr;

loadr.load();


Am I missing something??

Well, found out a way trought the problem... use the "complete" event of the Loader as the ProgressBar one doesn´t seem to be emited, don´t know why though :confused:
