If you want to redispatch a ResultEvent when using Danny Patterson's AS3 Lightweight Remoting Framework, you have to modify the ResultEvent class to override the clone() method.

So, if you want to do something like this:

private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
    dispatchEvent(event);
}

Just add the following method to com.dannypatterson.remoting.ResultEvent:

public override function clone():Event
{
   return new ResultEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable, result);
}

Ditto for the FaultEvent.

  1. Dito for all events. If you create a custom class, make sure you override the close method.

  2. Sorry should have said ‘If you create a custom event class…”

  3. Bollocks, also should have said “make sure you override the clone method”.

    I might just give up :)

  5. yeah i should have said “Ditto…”

    Sigh. Sorry for taking over this post Aral.

    It means ‘another of the same’ or / ‘the same goes for’.

  6. Hi Tink,

    No worries. Yes, this goes for any custom event class if you want to be able to redispatch it. Specifically, it’s an issue with the as3lrf because it hasn’t been implemented.

  7. +1 For creating Custom Events in the projects events folder. That way this stuff wouldn’t need a second look or log post. There are always quick and ‘dirty’ solutions, or just the statics in a class which has nothing to do with the event itself.
    I think it’s good use to always create yourself a separated CustomEvent as Applications in as3 are event driven, that would be the most workable way in the end. Knowing it seems like overload or too much for the current needs etc etc, don’t let that fool you ;)

  8. Complete oversight on my part, I’ll make sure I fix this right away.
