SocialUI does not Trigger Event.COMPLETE

I can confirm I'm seeing this as well(re: the . I was following this post hoping for updates, not wanting to post a 'me too' for fear of scaring away potential responderers from not bothering when they notice that someone had already responded! Such a shame, the classes look useful, just missing some key features such as this complete event not triggering or good documentation!

I was curious as to what statusEventHandler() was doing in the SocialUI api docs. The STATUS event never seemed to trigger, so what was the event handler doing there? So I extended the SocialUI class to be able to override this handler and see if it was ever being called, and it turns out it does get called in the following situations:

FB dialog:

• user hits Post: "MessageDialogFinishedEvent"
• user hits Cancel: "MessageDialogCancelledEvent"

The Twitter dialog doesn't seem to trigger this method and unfortunately - the status event handler doesn't seem to receive an event when the image is successfully posted to facebook.

I also overrode the SocialUI's dispatchEvent method to see if it was dispatching any interesting events, but unfortunately nothing interesting came out of that.

Frustrating - these classes are starting to feel unfinished, and without support - feels like the only solutions available are:

• accept the frustrating limitations on these classes and work with it
• use a third party solution like milkman
• build your own ANE.

If by chance you are interested in extending the SocialUI class to be able to listen for the facebook MessageDialog events, here's my class:

package  {
  import com.adobe.ane.social.SocialUI;
  import flash.events.StatusEvent;

  public class SpecialUI extends SocialUI {
   public static const MESSAGE_DIALOG_FINISHED_EVENT:String="MessageDialogFinishedEvent";
   public static const MESSAGE_DIALOG_CANCELLED_EVENT:String="MessageDialogCancelledEvent";
   public function SpecialUI(arg0:String) {
    super(arg0);
   }
   override protected function statusEventHandler(e:StatusEvent):void {
    dispatchEvent(e);  //
    super.statusEventHandler(e);
   }
  }
}

//and here is how you could call it:
sUI = new SpecialUI(SocialServiceType.FACEBOOK);
sUI.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS,goStatus);
sUI.launch();
private function goStatus(event:StatusEvent):void {
     if (event.code==SpecialUI.MESSAGE_DIALOG_FINISHED_EVENT) {
          trace("user at least TRIED to post to facebook! this does not guarantee that it posted ok");

     }
}

We are able to reproduce the issue and now investigating on it.

Thanks for reporting,

David - you are right, statusEventHandler does get triggered for Twitter as well(I didn't have my event handlers set up correctly for Twitter). Interesting discover with the ExtensionContext - found docs for that here.

Nimitja, thanks for looking into it, looking forward to hearing more on this soon.

FYI I've been researching alternatives and StickSports/Social-ANE · GitHub appears to be very similar, and the complete and cancel events are working for me.
