These files are from my presentation at the Pittsburgh Flash User Group (PittMFUG) tonight.
There are two sets of example files, both showing very basic custom events in AS3 — hence the name “BareBonesEvent”.
The first set (01 really basic) is an example of BareBonesEvent that is fired after the mouse is clicked 5 times. Nothing fancy there at all. But, if you’re looking for minimal custom event code, this is it.
The second set (02 basic wProperty) steps it up just a little. The BareBonesEvent is dispatched after the mouse is clicked five times again. But this time we also move a graphic a few pixels and pass the graphics new x position along with the event object.
ETA: If you’re wondering what happens if you don’t override the clone method, there’s a post on the bit-101 blog that explains a bit about what could happen: bit-1o1
