openfl.events.MouseEvent

A MouseEvent object is dispatched into the event flow whenever mouse events occur. A mouse event is usually generated by a user input device, such as a mouse or a trackball, that uses a pointer.

When nested nodes are involved, mouse events target the deepest possible nested node that is visible in the display list. This node is called the target node. To have a target node's ancestor receive notification of a mouse event, use EventDispatcher.addEventListener() on the ancestor node with the type parameter set to the specific mouse event you want to detect.

Constructor

@:value({ clickCount : 0, controlKey : false, commandKey : false, delta : 0, buttonDown : false, shiftKey : false, altKey : false, ctrlKey : false, relatedObject : null, localY : 0, localX : 0, cancelable : false, bubbles : true })new(type:String, bubbles:Bool = true, cancelable:Bool = false, localX:Float = 0, localY:Float = 0, ?relatedObject:InteractiveObject, ctrlKey:Bool = false, altKey:Bool = false, shiftKey:Bool = false, buttonDown:Bool = false, delta:Int = 0, commandKey:Bool = false, controlKey:Bool = false, clickCount:Int = 0)

Creates an Event object that contains information about mouse events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters:

`type`	The type of the event. Possible values are: `MouseEvent.CLICK`, `MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK`, `MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN`, `MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE`, `MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT`, `MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER`, `MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP`, `MouseEvent.MIDDLE_CLICK`, `MouseEvent.MIDDLE_MOUSE_DOWN`, `MouseEvent.MIDDLE_MOUSE_UP`, `MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK`, `MouseEvent.RIGHT_MOUSE_DOWN`, `MouseEvent.RIGHT_MOUSE_UP`, `MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL`, `MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT`, and `MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER`.
`bubbles`	Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling phase of the event flow.
`cancelable`	Determines whether the Event object can be canceled.
`localX`	The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.
`localY`	The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.
`relatedObject`	The complementary InteractiveObject instance that is affected by the event. For example, when a `mouseOut` event occurs, `relatedObject` represents the display list object to which the pointing device now points.
`ctrlKey`	On Windows or Linux, indicates whether the Ctrl key is activated. On Mac, indicates whether either the Ctrl key or the Command key is activated.
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is activated(Windows or Linux only).
`shiftKey`	Indicates whether the Shift key is activated.
`buttonDown`	Indicates whether the primary mouse button is pressed.
`delta`	Indicates how many lines should be scrolled for each unit the user rotates the mouse wheel. A positive delta value indicates an upward scroll; a negative value indicates a downward scroll. Typical values are 1 to 3, but faster rotation may produce larger values. This parameter is used only for the `MouseEvent.mouseWheel` event.

Variables

`altKey:Bool`

Indicates whether the Alt key is active(true) or inactive (false). Supported for Windows only. On other operating systems, this property is always set to false.

`buttonDown:Bool`

Indicates whether the primary mouse button is pressed(true) or not(false).

`clickCount:Int`

Indicates whether or not the mouse down event is part of a multi-click sequence. This parameter will be zero for all mouse events other than MouseEvent.mouseDown, MouseEvent.mouseUp, MouseEvent.middleMouseDown, MouseEvent.middleMouseUp, MouseEvent.rightMouseDown, and MouseEvent.rightMouseUp. Listening for single clicks, double clicks, or any multi-click sequence is possible with the clickCount parameter. For example, an initial MouseEvent.mouseDown and MouseEvent.mouseUp will have a clickCount of 1, and the second MouseEvent.mouseDown and MouseEvent.mouseUp in a double-click sequence will have a clickCount of 2. If the mouse moves sufficiently or the multi-click sequence is interrupted for some reason, then the next MouseEvent.mouseDown will have a clickCount of 1. The doubleClick event will continue to fire as expected.

`commandKey:Bool`

Indicates whether the command key is activated (Mac only.)

The value of property commandKey will have the same value as property ctrlKey on the Mac. Always false on Windows or Linux.

`controlKey:Bool`

Indicates whether the Control key is activated on Mac and whether the Ctrl key is activated on Windows or Linux.

`ctrlKey:Bool`

On Windows or Linux, indicates whether the Ctrl key is active (true) or inactive(false). On Macintosh, indicates whether either the Control key or the Command key is activated.

`delta:Int`

Indicates how many lines should be scrolled for each unit the user rotates the mouse wheel. A positive delta value indicates an upward scroll; a negative value indicates a downward scroll. Typical values are 1 to 3, but faster rotation may produce larger values. This setting depends on the device and operating system and is usually configurable by the user. This property applies only to the MouseEvent.mouseWheel event.

`isRelatedObjectInaccessible:Bool`

If true, the relatedObject property is set to null for reasons related to security sandboxes. If the nominal value of relatedObject is a reference to a DisplayObject in another sandbox, relatedObject is set to null unless there is permission in both directions across this sandbox boundary. Permission is established by calling Security.allowDomain() from a SWF file, or by providing a policy file from the server of an image file, and setting the LoaderContext.checkPolicyFile property when loading the image.

`localX:Float`

The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.

`localY:Float`

The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.

`relatedObject:InteractiveObject`

A reference to a display list object that is related to the event. For example, when a mouseOut event occurs, relatedObject represents the display list object to which the pointing device now points. This property applies to the mouseOut, mouseOver, rollOut, and rollOver events.

The value of this property can be null in two circumstances: if there no related object, or there is a related object, but it is in a security sandbox to which you don't have access. Use the isRelatedObjectInaccessible() property to determine which of these reasons applies.

`shiftKey:Bool`

Indicates whether the Shift key is active(true) or inactive (false).

`stageX:Float`

The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred in global Stage coordinates. This property is calculated when the localX property is set.

`stageY:Float`

The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred in global Stage coordinates. This property is calculated when the localY property is set.

Methods

`updateAfterEvent():Void`

Instructs OpenFL to render after processing of this event completes, if the display list has been modified.

On all targets except Flash/AIR, requires openfl_always_dispatch_mouse_events to be defined because OpenFL will throttle mouse events to the frame rate.

`@:value({ p5 : null, p4 : null, p3 : null, p2 : null, p1 : null })formatToString(className:String, ?p1:String, ?p2:String, ?p3:String, ?p4:String, ?p5:String):String`

A utility function for implementing the toString() method in custom ActionScript 3.0 Event classes. Overriding the toString() method is recommended, but not required.

class PingEvent extends Event {
	var URL:String;

	public function new() {
		super();
	}

	public override function toString():String {
		return formatToString("PingEvent", "type", "bubbles", "cancelable", "eventPhase", "URL");
	}
}

Parameters:

`className`	The name of your custom Event class. In the previous example, the `className` parameter is `PingEvent`.

Returns:

The name of your custom Event class and the String value of your ...arguments parameter.

`isDefaultPrevented():Bool`

Checks whether the preventDefault() method has been called on the event. If the preventDefault() method has been called, returns true; otherwise, returns false.

Returns:

If preventDefault() has been called, returns true; otherwise, returns false.

`preventDefault():Void`

Cancels an event's default behavior if that behavior can be canceled. Many events have associated behaviors that are carried out by default. For example, if a user types a character into a text field, the default behavior is that the character is displayed in the text field. Because the TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT event's default behavior can be canceled, you can use the preventDefault() method to prevent the character from appearing. An example of a behavior that is not cancelable is the default behavior associated with the Event.REMOVED event, which is generated whenever Flash Player is about to remove a display object from the display list. The default behavior (removing the element) cannot be canceled, so the preventDefault() method has no effect on this default behavior. You can use the Event.cancelable property to check whether you can prevent the default behavior associated with a particular event. If the value of Event.cancelable is true, then preventDefault() can be used to cancel the event; otherwise, preventDefault() has no effect.

`stopImmediatePropagation():Void`

Prevents processing of any event listeners in the current node and any subsequent nodes in the event flow. This method takes effect immediately, and it affects event listeners in the current node. In contrast, the stopPropagation() method doesn't take effect until all the event listeners in the current node finish processing.

Note: This method does not cancel the behavior associated with this event; see preventDefault() for that functionality.

`stopPropagation():Void`

Prevents processing of any event listeners in nodes subsequent to the current node in the event flow. This method does not affect any event listeners in the current node(currentTarget). In contrast, the stopImmediatePropagation() method prevents processing of event listeners in both the current node and subsequent nodes. Additional calls to this method have no effect. This method can be called in any phase of the event flow.

Note: This method does not cancel the behavior associated with this event; see preventDefault() for that functionality.
