// EventType
public class CustomEvent extends Event
{
// Properties
public var params:Array;

// Constructor
public function CustomEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, … p:*)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
params = p;
}

// Override clone
override public function clone():Event
{
return new CustomEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable, params);
}

}

// CustomEvent
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
addEventListener(“EVENT_NAME”, customEventHandler);

function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void
{
var params:Array = new Array(“hello”, “world”);
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(“EVENT_NAME”, false, false, params));
}

function customEventHandler(e:CustomEvent):void
{
trace(e.params[0] + ” ” + e.params[1]);
}

Why is it tracing:
hello,world undefined

insteand of:
hello world

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
addEventListener(“EVENT_NAME”, customEventHandler);

function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void{
dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent(“EVENT_NAME”, false, false, this.currentFrame) );
}
function customEventHandler(e:CustomEvent):void {
trace(e.params[0]);
}

You’re basically listening for the ENTER_FRAME event, then dispatching another custom event, and listening again for that. You can use the new event to pass on values from the original ENTER_FRAME event as well as new custom parameters.
