benchmark dispatchEvent enumerations event iterations loop
A different view on loops – listener-looping
What is the usual practice when searching / setting / operating over some list of item? I think you usually think of iterating over some list (array) or linked list etc. Well, ActionScript has to offer one more technique you maybe never tought of, lets call it listener-looping. ActionScript is event based language, that means that every EventDispatcher based classes are able to listen and dispatch events. And this fits our needs for loop alternative. Lets suggest, you do not have any list to be iterated over but you still have a chance to accomplish it by making each item listening for custom event.
