What is AS3Signals?
Open source project by Rob Penner
Alternative way to working with events in AS3
Inspired by C# events and Signals/Slots in QT
Lightweight, easy and fast to use
Lets get back to basics

 > ïŹ‚ash.events.EventDispatcher
 > ïŹ‚ash.events.Event
EventDispatcher Demo
What is wrong with this?
 Requires inheritance to dispatch events
 Need to subclass Event to pass around data
 String references as events rather than objects
 Misses basic functionality (remove all listeners etc.)
What does AS3Signals do?
Uses composition over inheritance
Doesn’t require subclassing to pass arguments
Listeners subscribe to Objects not a String reference
Can hook up to native Events
Signal
 Most lightweight Signal class
 Passes any number of arguments
 Supports optional strong typing for arguments



 org.osflash.signals.Signal
Signal Demo
DeluxeSignal
Does everything Signals does
Adds support for target and signal that dispatched it
Passes GenericEvent to listener



org.osflash.signals.DeluxeSignal
DeluxeSignal Demo
NativeSignal
 Uses Signal to wrap around native Events
 Requires object, event type and event class arguments
 Uses IEventDispatcher to dispatch



 org.osflash.signals.natives.NativeSignal
NativeSignal Demo
NativeRelaySignal
Similar to the NativeSignal class
Extends DeluxeSignal
Has its own dispatch code rather than IEventDispatcher



org.osflash.signals.natives.NativeRelaySignal
Integration with frameworks
 Robotlegs

 Swiz
 http://bit.ly/swignalz
Useful features
 removeAll - removes all listeners to a signal
 addOnce - ïŹres a signal event only the ïŹrst time
 numListeners - returns how many listeners for a signal



 There is experimental event bubbling support
How well does it perform?




  zero listeners   one listener
Where can you get it?
