Thanks for sharing info.

another work around would be extend GlobalDispatcher to your manager class.

Thats Working!
However if you want to dispatch an event from the view function (Fuction which listens to the event dispatched by Manager) does not listens by the Manager.
Means
Event Dispaching is like
1) View->EventMap->Manager fine
2) Manager->EventMap->View fine
3)View->EventMap->Manager (not working )

any workaround on this?

thanks for this good post.

I’m new with mate and I’m planning to use it as our main framework.

Don’t forget to instantiate the instance of the dispatcher (simply adding the reference didn’t work for me).

In constructor of the manager:

dispatcher = new GlobalDispatcher ( );

This is a dubious thing for me: I appreciate that Mate advocates itself saying “uses Flash events”, but it wants you to use them in a very particular way, unlike say PureMVC, where you add listeners and dispatch events exactly as you would without the framework. I don’t want to open a debate about the merits of Mate, I am liking working with it, but it does indeed alter how you would typically think about using events.
