Instance methods

Constructor

StageEventProxy

function StageEventProxy(stageId:String = StageEventProxy.STAGE_DEFAULT)

Created a new StageEventProxy.

Parameters
stageId:An identifier that corresponds to a stored Stage in StageReference.
Usage note

Constants

STAGE_DEFAULT

static const STAGE_DEFAULT:String = 'stageDefault'

Instance methods

addEventListener

function addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int, useWeakReference:Boolean = false) : void

destroy

override function destroy() : void

Removes any event listeners and stops all internal processes to help allow for prompt garbage collection. Always call before deleting last object pointer.

dispatchEvent

function dispatchEvent(event:Event) : Boolean

getTotalEventListeners

function getTotalEventListeners(type:String = null) : uint

Reports the number of listeners for a specific event or the total listeners for all events.

Parameters
type:
The name of event or for all events.
Returns
  • The number of listeners.

hasEventListener

function hasEventListener(type:String) : Boolean

removeEventListener

function removeEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false) : void

removeEventListeners

function removeEventListeners() : void

Removes all event listeners.

removeEventsForListener

function removeEventsForListener(listener:Function) : void

Removes all events that report to the specified listener.

Parameters
listener:
The listener function that processes the event.

removeEventsForType

function removeEventsForType(type:String) : void

Removes all events of a specific type.

Parameters
type:
The type of event.

willTrigger

function willTrigger(type:String) : Boolean
