listen for dispatchEvent and run a function?

[mgason]

Hi,
if I have a class I load,
import com.pixelator;//import explosion class

In my movie I want to run a function when it finishes and dispatches the event below. How do I do that?

here is the code from the class

function completeHandler() {
                dispatchEvent(new Event("PIXELS_DONE"));
} 

thanks mark

You'll want to add a listener to the instance of the class or movieclip dispatching the event.

myInstance.addEventListener("PIXELS_DONE", onPixeslDone);

function onPixelsDone(e:Event):void{
  //handler code
}

it might be more complicated than I thought
here is where I set up the class, and what I tried

var pixelExplosion:pixelator = new pixelator(menu_mc);
addChild(pixelExplosion);
pixelExplosion.explode();

//then I end it and try to listen for the end

pixelExplosion.retract();

pixelExplosion.addEventListener("PIXELS_DONE", finished);

function finished(e:EVENT):void{
    trace("pixels imploded");
} 

I got these errors which refer to tweenmax which pixelator uses.

this one refers to the listener line
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: EVENT.

Shouldn't it be:

function finished(e:Event):void{ ...
