ServiceEvent  - AS3 ADEP - Client Component

The service class.

The service undergoing a lifecycle change.

Constructor.

Duplicates an instance of an Event subclass.

Returns a new Event object that is a copy of the original instance of the Event object. You do not normally call clone(); the EventDispatcher class calls it automatically when you redispatch an event—that is, when you call dispatchEvent(event) from a handler that is handling event.

The new Event object includes all the properties of the original.

When creating your own custom Event class, you must override the inherited Event.clone() method in order for it to duplicate the properties of your custom class. If you do not set all the properties that you add in your event subclass, those properties will not have the correct values when listeners handle the redispatched event.

In this example, PingEvent is a subclass of Event and therefore implements its own version of clone().

     class PingEvent extends Event {
         var URL:String;
         
     public override function clone():Event {
              return new PingEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable, URL);
        }
     }
     

The serviceModified event type indicates that the properties of the service have been modified.

The serviceRegistered event type indicates that the service has been registered.

The serviceUnregistering event type indicates that the service is in the process of being unregistered.
