Some trouble with a Custom Event. Any ideas?
Hi, i'm having some trouble trying to implement a custom event.
Here i coded a little a situation that is exactly similar to mine but much less complicated to understand, so we can get straight to the problem:
[code]
ClassA = Core.class(EventDispatcher)
function ClassA:init()
self.name = "Oscar"
end
ClassB = Core.class(EventDispatcher)
function ClassB:init()
self.a = ClassA.new()
end
function ClassB:SayHi(event)
print("--With Event--")
print("Hello",event.name)
print("--With Self--")
print("Hello",self.a.name)
end
function ClassB:run()
self:addEventListener("myevent",self.SayHi,self)
self:dispatchEvent(Event.new("myevent"))
end
local b = ClassB.new()
b:run()
[/code]
And here is the result it throws:
--With Event--
Hello nil
--With Self--
Hello Oscar
Why am i not getting the right event arguments?
Thanks in advance!

The event created by using Event.new does not create an event with the name as you specified, instead it is the type of event that you have created.
To get that, you need to query the
