Description
Event; broadcast to all registered listeners when the mouse is clicked (released) over the button
or if the button has focus and the Spacebar is pressed.
The first usage example uses a dispatcher/listener event model. A component instance
(
buttonInstance) dispatches an event (in this case, click) and the event is handled by a
function, also called a handler, on a listener object (
listenerObject) that you create. You
define a method with the same name as the event on the listener object; the method is called
when the event occurs. When the event occurs, it automatically passes an event object
(
eventObject) to the listener object method. The event object has properties that contain
information about the event. You can use these properties to write code that handles the
event. Finally, you call
addEventListener() (see EventDispatcher.addEventListener())
on the component instance that broadcasts the event to register the listener with the instance.
When the instance dispatches the event, the listener is called.
