class SingletonEnforcer {}

Creates a centralized enterFrame event. Also enables classes that do not extend a display object to react to an enterFrame event.

Example:

package {
    import flash.events.Event;
    import org.casalib.display.CasaMovieClip;
    import org.casalib.time.EnterFrame;


    public class MyExample extends CasaMovieClip {
        protected var _pulseInstance:EnterFrame;


        public function MyExample() {
            super();

            this._pulseInstance = EnterFrame.getInstance();
            this._pulseInstance.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, this._onFrameFire);
        }

        protected function _onFrameFire(e:Event):void {
            trace("I will be called every frame.");
        }
    }
}
