Passing events out of a class

[jellyrools]

Hello all,

So I've created a custom class which makes use of a Sound object. The Sound object loads a sound from a URL, and I attach and event listener to it to see it when it finishes loading i.e. Event.Complete

MY question is this: how do I receive this event outside of the class? For instance, I want to be able to create an instance of my class somewhere else, load a sound and attach an event listener to my custom class that listens for the event thrown by the sound. Understandably, I don't want to make the sound object a public variable. So does anyone have any idea what to do?

THanks in advance,

The custom class can re-dispatch the event, or dispatch its own event as a response to the sound events. Other classes can then attach listeners to your custom class instance.

Sounds perfect! Do you know any good pages with info about redispatching events??

Simply make sure your custom class is an IEventDispatcher (you can extend EventDispatcher if you need a baseclass) and call dispatchEvent with the same event.

There really isn't a lot to it.
