EventBroadcaster for Director

You have to implement via Decorator pattern (think that’s the one…) instead of using initialize, but so far, seems to work. The only issue is, I am still trying to figure out how to do Function.apply in Director… because currently, I’m just passing the parameters as an array to the call method; which was the point of Function.apply being able to have any number parameters passed as an array, and then doing the argument distribution for you. At any rate, here’s what I got:
<pre><code>
property pListeners

on new me
init()
return me
end

on init me
pListeners = []
end

on broadcastMessage me, msg
howMany = pListeners.count()
repeat with n = 1 to howMany
o = pListeners[n]
if o.handler(msg) = true then
l = paramCount()
a = []
repeat with i = 2 to l
a.append(param(i))
end repeat
call(Symbol(msg), o, a)
end if
end repeat

end

on addListener me, obj
pListeners.append(obj)
end

on removeListener me, obj
howMany = pListeners.count()
repeat with n = 1 to howMany
if pListeners[n] = obj then
pListeners.deleteProp(n)
return true
end if
end repeat
return false
end
</code></pre>

And you can implement in your Parent Scripts (or behaviors I guess) like so:
<pre><code>
property pBroadcaster

on new me
init()
end

on init me
pBroadcaster = script(“EventBroadcaster”).new()
end

on addListener me, obj
pBroadcaster.addListener(obj)
end

on removeListener me, obj
success = pBroadcaster.removeListener(obj)
return success
end

on broadcastMessage me, msg
pBroadcaster.broadcastMessage(msg, param1, paramN)
end
</code></pre>

…still, would be great to figure out how to pass dynamic amounts of parameters like you can in Flash using Function.apply…
