Comments on: Example use of Event bubbling http://specialrelativity.org/blog/2007/08/05/an-example-of-bubbling-events/ Michael Avila's blog Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:29:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Steve Schelter http://specialrelativity.org/blog/2007/08/05/an-example-of-bubbling-events/#comment-2 Steve Schelter Mon, 06 Aug 2007 04:52:24 +0000 http://specialrelativity.org/blog/2007/08/05/an-example-of-bubbling-events/#comment-2 "I have to take a second to talk about the LinkEvent, after all it is what all of the fuss is about. This event is simple, you create it by passing it it’s type and the link which it will carry. We set in the constructor that the event will not bubble, and it will not be cancelable." So did you mean to say "will bubble"? That's actually a really good idea, to use bubbling for dispatching custom events to a controller. I'm thinking about how this can apply to a cairngorm implementation, and it might fix one of the things that bothers me the most about cairngorm: the way they their views dispatch to their controllers. “I have to take a second to talk about the LinkEvent, after all it is what all of the fuss is about.

I'd love to see some Cairngorm examples if you get some time :) @Ruben - thanks man, I needed to do something, after lost createage I just stopped all together. @Steve - yeah you’re right Steve thanks for catching that.

I find that this is a great overview of the cairngorm microarchitecture though. http://www.cairngormdocs.org/tools/CairngormDiagramExplorer.swf In the case I was describing, your approach would replace the EventBroadcaster object, which is basically just a global dispatcher.

Ben's project is using it right now. I'm interested though, will try to look into it sometime soon. :-S Whenever that may be, hehe. Thanks for the link! Ben’s project is using it right now.
