yesterday i was wondering why i just couldn’t get the eventMap.mapListener to work as expected.

in my mediator class i have the next code:

1
2
3

override public function onRegister():void  {
	eventMap.mapListener(view, CustomEvent.CLICK, onClick);
}

the onClick handler never happens… (using Flash CS4)
but if i change that line to this:

1

view.addEventListener(CustomEvent.CLICK, onClick)

it works!

it also works with:

1

eventMap.mapListener(view, CustomEvent.CLICK, onClick ,CustomEvent,false,0,false);

after two hours of digging in, downgrading Robotlegs version, downgrading Flash IDE version, changing from PC to MAC, i just realized that i needed to ask to google san. (yeah!! after two hours i just realized that!, can you believe it??)

made the next search: “Weakreference + Robotlegs”

google’s response: 0.37 segs
google’s first result

my fix was, changing this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

public class Main extends MovieClip {
	public function Main() {
 
		var context:MainContext = new MainContext(this,false);
		context.startup();
 
	}	
}

for this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

public class Main extends MovieClip {
	private var context:MainContext;
 
	public function Main() {
 
		context = new MainContext(this,false);
		context.startup();
 
	}	
}

the GC was only doing his duty!
man, if i would have asked to google before, it would have saved two hours of my lifetime!.

if you enjoy playing pacman on the Google´s homepage
go to github and download it!!
there’s a copy of Google’s playable Pacman game!

cheers!

if you wonder how the heck you could do branching or tagging in Versions.app (SVN Client for Mac)
just go to your repository (not the working copy), then drag the folder you want to tag to it’s destination, fill in the resulting dialog.

cheers.
