objects talking to each other

[Incrue]

I want objA to fire some function in objB
The name of object to fire and the name of the function must be inside variables in objA
The problem is:in AS2 this works, but in AS3,it dont:

var objA = new Object();
var objB = new Object();

objB.doThis = function(){
trace("objB doing this");
}

objA.obName = "objB";
objA.funcName = "doThis";
objA[obName][funcName]();

So, what i do?
Thanks in advance

What would your example do as written there?

[Fall_X]

var objA = new Object();
var objB = new Object();

objB.doThis = function(){
trace("objB doing this");
}

objA.obName = "objB";
objA.funcName = "doThis";

this[objA.obName][objA.funcName]();


or


var objA = new Object();
var objB = new Object();

objB.doThis = function(p1:String,p2:String){
trace("parameter 1 : "+p1);
trace("parameter 2 : "+p2);
}

objA.obName = "objB";
objA.funcName = "doThis";
objA.parameters = ["value 1","value 2"];

this[objA.obName][objA.funcName].apply(this[objA.obName],objA.parameters);

I am trying to make an AsBroadcaster class in AS3, based on this one

AsBroadcaster = new Object();
AsBroadcaster.addListener = function(listener){
this.removeListener(listener);
this._listeners.push(listener);
return true;
}
AsBroadcaster.removeListener = function(listener){
var i = this._listeners.length;
while(--i >= 0){
if(this._listeners[i] == listener){
this._listeners.splice(i,1);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
AsBroadcaster.broadcastMessage = function(theEvent){
var i = this._listeners.length;
while(--i >= 0){
this._listeners[i][theEvent]();
}
}
AsBroadcaster.initialize = function(obj){
obj.addListener = this.addListener;
obj.removeListener = this.removeListener;
obj.broadcastMessage = this.broadcastMessage;
obj._listeners = [];
}

It wasnt working, i think the problem is that this line
this._listeners[i][theEvent]();
Is not making the listener object do the [theEvent]function, i dont know why

Your original example didn't work in AS2 either. That is why I was wondering, but Fall_X example is working in AS3 as well.

Don't bother helping this guy, he'll just say you know nothing about it : http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=115341 :rolleyes:

And even though I shouldn't bother, one more tip : why not just extend the EventDispatcher class? This probably does exactly what you want.

Please carry out any fights somewhere else but not on Flashkit. The original question is answered and therefore resolved.

Point taken.
