UserEvent  - AS3 Asset Composer

Constructor. Accepts an event type and instantiates the corresponding UserEvent.

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);
        }
     }
     

This type of event would be dispatched when authentication fails using the username, password. As a response to this type of event an application can show an error message to the user. This event would only happen when authentication is done using username and password and NOT in SSO case.

This type of event would be dispatched when authentication using SSO is not achieved. And due to that we require the user's username and password for authentication. As a response to this event the application can show the login page to the user.

This type of event would be dispatched when the Authentication process is successful. Authentication might have been done with SSO or username and password. As a response to this event the application can show the welcome page to the user The application may want to perform specific check for permission/role so as to verify the user is allowed. So as a response to this event the application would do those checks and then only show the welcome page

This type of event would be dispatched when load User is complete.

This type of event would be dispatched when logout is complete. As a response to this event the application may show a logout page informing the user that he has been logged out. Or the application can take the user back to login page

This type of event would be dispatched when renew Session is complete.
