InheritanceDelegate Inheritance CoreObject
ImplementsEventListener, ICloneable, IRunnable

Delegate was originally created by Mike Chambers for Macromedia mx.events package.

This version is also inspired from Peter Hall's EventDelegate implementation and from the Francis bourre framework "Pixlib".

You can instantiate and keep a reference of a Delegate instance.

In the VEGAS implementation :

  • The Delegate class implements EventListener interface. you can use a Delegate instances in the addEventListener method for all EventTarget implementations.
  • The Delegate class implements IRunnable interface
