892 Chapter 6: Components Dictionary
The second usage example uses a dispatcher/listener event model. A component instance
(
windowInstance) dispatches an event (in this case, mouseDownOutside) and the event is
handled by a function, also called a handler, on a listener object (
listenerObject) that you
create. You define a method with the same name as the event on the listener object; the method is
called when the event is triggered. When the event is triggered, it automatically passes an event
object (
eventObject) to the listener object method. The event object has properties that contain
information about the event. You can use these properties to write code that handles the event.
Finally, you call the
EventDispatcher.addEventListener() method on the component
instance that broadcasts the event to register the listener with the instance. When the instance
dispatches the event, the listener is called.
For more information, see “EventDispatcher class” on page 415.
Example
The following example creates a window instance and defines a mouseDownOutside handler that
calls a
beep() method if the user clicks outside the window:
var myTW = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, undefined, true);
// create a listener
twListener = new Object();
twListener.mouseDownOutside = function()
{
beep(); // make a noise if user clicks outside
}
myTW.addEventListener("mouseDownOutside", twListener);
