Good thing we have as3signals and TurboSignals! ;-)

The great thing about AS3 events is that you can add listeners for the wrong events and nothing lets you know–compile or run-time. You just sit around wondering why nothing’s happening.

Good catch. Clearly I never actually ran that code. :) And I totally agree about contentLoaderInfo and the whole process of doing a load. I knew almost as soon as I started loading (a lot) with AS3 that I’d need to abstract all that into something more like LoadHelper.load(url, callback).

This is a cool idea, and it’s great to see it in multiple languages.

A small point–

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

–should be:

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

I blame Macromedia for this one, though. It’s so unintuitive.

That's definitely another option. Personally, I prefer to change only the objects I need to change rather than globally changing all Functions. If you prefer differently, it should be easy to apply this technique using the Function prototype. If you do, would you mind posting your implementation here?

Hello,

This looks very usefull thanks. Why not overriding the Function prototype to add this feature natively ? Function class is dynamic, it shouldn’t be a problem. There’s a french article about prototypes in as3, you may find the examples usefull : http://bit.ly/aVY0Hw
