event.dispatch();

Flex

In the earlier versions of Cairngorm you need to dispatch events through the CairngormEventDispatcher instance. Now self dispatching events are added in Cairngorm2.2.

Old method

var evt:NavigateEvent = new NavigateEvent();
// Dispatch through the dispatcher
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(evt);

New method

var evt:NavigateEvent = new NavigateEvent();
// Event dispatch itself
evt.dispatch();

These are the changes between Cairngorm 2.2 and Cairngorm 2.1(from adobe labs)

  • Removed dependency on Flex Data Services (fds.swc) - externalised to Cairngorm Enterprise
  • Flex SDK SWCs are no longer linked into Cairngorm.swc (produces a smaller cairngorm.swc)
  • Added support for setting remote credentials
  • Fixed bug with Web services not loading the WSDL (no longer any need to call loadWSDL() explicitly)
  • ModelLocator interface has been deprecated. Added com.adobe.cairngorm.model.IModelLocator
  • Added deprecation metadata for compiler support
  • Added dispatch() helper method to CairngormEvent class
  • Controller added to CairngormEventDispatcher with weak reference
  • Added removeCommand to FrontController
  • Made commands protected in FrontController (was private)

Changes between Cairngorm 2.2.1 and Cairngorm 2.2

  • Changed ServiceLocator to reflect moving of classes to LiveCycle Data Services (fds.swc)
