I've been doing work with Drag and Drop and that involves mouse events. I'm wondering if someone could give me a history on the Apache FlexJS MouseEvent? Specially, its use of localX/Y and screenX/Y.
I'm wondering why the platform implements do not simply assign their version of screenX/Y as the screenX/Y values instead of the screenX/Y being getter functions? I've run into cases where the localX/Y == screenX/Y in the FlexJS MouseEvent but the original event had different values. Why would we not want the FlexJS MouseEvent to reflect the platform's mouse event values? SWF: flexJSMouseEvent.screenX = swfMouseEvent.stageX; JS: flexJSMouseEvent.screenX = jsMouseEvent.pageX; Thanks. Peter Ent Adobe Systems/Apache Flex Project
