All classes that dispatch events inherit from '''EventDispatcher'''. The target of an event is a Listener function and an optional data value.

When an event is dispatched, the registered function is called. If the optional data value is given, it is used as a first parameter while calling the listener function.

Event dispatching and event targets are the core part of the Gideros Event model. Different event types (such as [[Event.ENTER_FRAME]], [[Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN]] or [[Event.MOUSE_DOWN]]) flow through the scene tree hierarchy differently. When a touch or mouse event occurs, Gideros dispatches an event object into the event flow from the root of the scene tree.

Description

All classes that dispatch events inherit from EventDispatcher. The target of an event is a Listener function and an optional data value.

When an event is dispatched, the registered function is called. If the optional data value is given, it is used as a first parameter while calling the listener function.

Event dispatching and event targets are the core part of the Gideros Event model. Different event types (such as Event.ENTER_FRAME, Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN or Event.MOUSE_DOWN) flow through the scene tree hierarchy differently. When a touch or mouse event occurs, Gideros dispatches an event object into the event flow from the root of the scene tree.

On the other hand, Event.ENTER_FRAME event is dispatched to all Sprite objects.

If you want to define a class that dispatches events, you can inherit your class from EventDispatcher.

Examples

User created event 

local event = Event.new("myevent")
event.data1 = "12345"
event.data2 = "abcde"
mydispatcher:dispatchEvent(event)

Game loop 

Ball = Core.class(Sprite)

function Ball:onEnterFrame()
	self:setX(self:getX() + 1)
end

ball = Ball.new()
ball:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ball.onEnterFrame, ball)

EventDispatcher inheritance 

ClassA = Core.class(EventDispatcher)
ClassB = Core.class(EventDispatcher)

function ClassA:funcA(event)
	print("funcA", self, event:getType(), event:getTarget())
end

local a = ClassA.new()
local b = ClassB.new()

b:addEventListener("myevent", a.funcA, a)
-- when b dispatches an "myevent" event, a.funcA will be called with 'a' as first parameter

b:dispatchEvent(Event.new("myevent")) -- will print "funcA"

Methods

EventDispatcher.new creates a new EventDispatcher object

EventDispatcher:addEventListener registers a listener function
EventDispatcher:dispatchEvent dispatches an event
EventDispatcher:hasEventListener checks if the EventDispatcher object has a event listener
EventDispatcher:removeAllListeners remove all listeners
EventDispatcher:removeEventListener removes a listener function

Events

Event.APPLICATION_BACKGROUND
Event.APPLICATION_EXIT
Event.APPLICATION_FOREGROUND
Event.APPLICATION_RESIZE
Event.APPLICATION_RESUME
Event.APPLICATION_START
Event.APPLICATION_SUSPEND
Event.MEMORY_WARNING
Event.OPEN_URL

Constants
