hi guys
quick question - is it possible to separate a MOUSE_UP event from a
CLICK event?
i have a mouse listener function that does the following:
[code]
private function grabListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
switch(e.type)
{
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN :
startDrag();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, grabListener, false,
0, true);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, grabListener, false, 0,
true);
break;
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP :
stopDrag();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, grabListener);
break;
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE :
_nShowPosition = y;
break;
case MouseEvent.CLICK :
popup();
break;
}
}
[/code]
but the problem is that every time MOUSE_UP fires, it also completes
the CLICK event, even after the user has dragged the object
i've tried setting the useCapture to true for the following line
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, grabListener, true, 0,
true);
and in the mouse_up case i've tried doing the following
e.stopPropagation() and e.stopImmediatePropagation()
to try and head the event off before it gets to the click but i guess
because click is a separate event, it didn't affect it
am i missing a trick here?
hope you can help
best
