AS3: How to create custom event dispatcher class

We can create custom event dispatcher class as given below:

SOURCE CODE
package 
{
  import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
  import flash.events.Event;

  /**
   * @file CDispatcher.as
   * @author Abhishek Kumar
   */
  public class CDispatcher extends EventDispatcher
  {
    public static var ACTION:String = "action";
    public static var ERROR:String = "error";

    private static var instance:CDispatcher = new CDispatcher();

    public function CDispatcher() 
    {
      if (instance) 
        throw new Error("Error: Instantiation failed!");
    }

    public static function getInstance():CDispatcher 
    {
      return instance;
    }

    public function dispatch(e:String, o:Object=null):void 
    {
      dispatchEvent(new CEvent(e, o));
    }
  }
}

USAGE
import CDispatcher;
import CEvent;

var oDispatcher:CDispatcher = CDispatcher.getInstance();
oDispatcher.addEventListener (CDispatcher.ACTION, actionHandler);
oDispatcher.addEventListener (CDispatcher.ERROR, errorHandler);

function actionHandler (e:CEvent):void
{
  trace ("actionHandler: " + e);
}

function errorHandler (e:CEvent):void
{
  trace ("errorHandler: " + e.data);
}

/* 
* Anywhere inside custom made class
*/

private var oDispatcher:CDispatcher;
oDispatcher = CDispatcher.getInstance();
oDispatcher.dispatch(CDispatcher.ACTION);
oDispatcher.dispatch(CDispatcher.ERROR, 'Error#007');

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft...

JS: The complete code example of Crypto.js (DES)

For one of the project I was trying to use crypto.js but I found that the Quick-start Guide have some deficiency in terms of library usage. So I am writing it here as a useful note for memory recap. <script src="http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/tripledes.js"></script> <script> var encrypted = CryptoJS.DES.encrypt("The secret message", "secret_key"); var e_msg = encrypted.toString(); console.log(e_msg); var decrypted = CryptoJS.DES.decrypt(e_msg, "secret_key"); var d_msg = decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8); console.log(d_msg); </script>

Openmeetings Widget Wordpress Plugin

One of my client asked me to create a Wordpress plugin, so the first thing I did was to search for any existing plugin on which I can work on. Luckily I found one. It was developed by Shuki Vaknin. You can visit his plugin at:  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openmeetings-integration-plugin-widget/ But I had little different requirement. So I modified the Shuki Vaknin's plugin. The modification is that every session has a unique username. I choose guest as default name while adding a timestamp along with guest keyword like guest34578689 .
