Issues with addEventListener

Having some problems attaching an enterFrame event to a group:

[lua]MyGroup = display.newGroup()

function Group:startEnterFrameStuff()
– SOLUTION A - DOES NOT DO ANYTHING:
self:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, function() print(“HELLO!”) end )

– SOLUTION B - DOES WORK:
Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, function() print(“HELLO!”) end )
end
MyGroup:startEnterFrameStuff()[/lua]

Why is this? Shouldn’t solution A work, too? [import]uid: 9644 topic_id: 4630 reply_id: 304630[/import]

Strange o_O

It works with the “touch” event, but not with “enterFrame”:

This one works:
[lua]self:addEventListener(“touch”, function() print(“HELLO!”) end )[/lua]
Does not work:
[lua]self:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, function() print(“HELLO!”) end )[/lua]

Is this a known issue? [import]uid: 9644 topic_id: 4630 reply_id: 14659[/import]

Isn’t the enterFrame event just a runtime event? [import]uid: 9371 topic_id: 4630 reply_id: 14660[/import]

You are right, it seems that I overlooked this part of the docs:

"In contrast, Runtime events are dispatched by the system. They are broadcast to all listeners."

Thanks for pointing it out. [import]uid: 9644 topic_id: 4630 reply_id: 14662[/import]
