Window.click 1477
Usage
Usage 1:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObject:Object) {
// ...
};
windowInstance.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
Usage 2:
on (click) {
// ...
}
Description
Event; broadcast to all registered listeners when the mouse is clicked (released) over the
close button.
The first usage example uses a dispatcher/listener event model. A component instance
(
windowInstance) 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 is triggered. When the event is triggered, 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 the
EventDispatcher.addEventListener() method 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.
For more information, see “EventDispatcher class” on page 499.
The second usage example uses an
on() handler and must be attached directly to a Window
instance. The keyword
this, used inside an on() handler attached to a component, refers to
the component instance. For example, the following code, attached to the Window instance
myWindow, sends “_level0.myWindow” to the Output panel:
on(click){
trace(this);
}
