Constructor.

Parameters

	`type:String` — The event type; indicates the action that caused the event.

	`bubbles:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Specifies whether the event can bubble up the display list hierarchy.

	`cancelable:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Specifies whether the behavior associated with the event can be prevented.

Constant Detail

MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE

Constant

public static const MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE:String = "mouseDownOutside"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a mouseDownOutside event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`bubbles`	false
`buttonDown`	Indicates whether the main mouse button is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`cancelable`	false
`ctrlKey`	Indicates whether the Control key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`. For PopUpManager events, the object is the pop-up window.
`delta`	Indicates how many lines should be scrolled for each notch the user scrolls the mouse wheel. For PopUpManager events this value is 0.
`localX`	The horizontal position at which the event occurred. For PopUpManager events, the value is relative to the pop-up control.
`localY`	The vertical position at which the event occurred. For PopUpManager events, the value is relative to the pop-up control.
`relatedObject`	A reference to a display list object that is related to the event. For PopUpManager events, the object is the container over which the mouse pointer is located.
`shiftKey`	Indicates whether the Shift key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event. For PopUpManager events, the object is the pop-up window.

MOUSE_WHEEL_CHANGING

Constant

public static const MOUSE_WHEEL_CHANGING:String = "mouseWheelChanging"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_CHANGING constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a mouseWheelChanging event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`bubbles`	false
`buttonDown`	Indicates whether the main mouse button is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`cancelable`	false
`ctrlKey`	Indicates whether the Control key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`delta`	Indicates how many lines should be scrolled for each notch the user scrolls the mouse wheel.
`localX`	The horizontal position at which the event occurred.
`localY`	The vertical position at which the event occurred.
`relatedObject`	A reference to a display list object that is related to the event. For this event, the object is the component which is the target of the mouseWheel event.
`shiftKey`	Indicates whether the Shift key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.

MOUSE_WHEEL_OUTSIDE
