Hi all!

I was cleaning up my desktop and found a nifty little pair of classes I coded. I created a ButtonUtil class (and an accompanying ButtonEvent class) which piggybacked parameters for the assigned function listening to the button event.

I basically created a Custom Event class and wrapped the regular AS3 Mouse Events in a the util class. It’s very simple to use and works great for me. Here is how it’s used:

[EDIT]:

Events:

1. ButtonEvent.CLICK
2. ButtonEvent.UP
3. ButtonEvent.DOWN
4. ButtonEvent.OVER
5. ButtonEvent.OUT
6. ButtonEvent.DRAG_OVER
7. ButtonEvent.DRAG_OUT
8. ButtonEvent.RELEASE_OUTSIDE
9. ButtonEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK

import ButtonUtil;
import ButtonEvent;
 
var myBtn = new ButtonUtil(btnOnStage);
 
myBtn.addButtonListener(ButtonEvent.CLICK, clickHandler, {msg:"Hello World!"});
 
function clickHandler($event:ButtonEvent):void
{
    trace($event.params.msg)
}
