Re: [flexcoders] MouseUpSomewhere event, whence hast thou gone?
I'd first try adding the listener to the stage of the item, else you can place listener on the application itself.. something in ballpark of (sorry if not exact spelling, objects, etc): myHBox.stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMsUp ); -Scott On 2/5/07, Douglas Knudsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm converting a Flex 1.5 app to 2.0.

RE: [flexcoders] MouseUpSomewhere event, whence hast thou gone?
I ran into similar problems with handling mouse events when converting an app from 1.5 to 2.0. I found that most of the time, I wound up transferring the eventlistener to another object (like the parent, since mouse events propagate up). But I have had success when adding the mouse_up event inside the mxml to the this scope like: this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,doMouseUp); John ** John R.

Re: [flexcoders] MouseUpSomewhere event, whence hast thou gone?
that adds a mouseUp listener/handler for the whole app, eh? How do I know if this mouseUp is related to the object the user gestured a mouseDown on? Kind of coupled up too.

Re: [flexcoders] MouseUpSomewhere event, whence hast thou gone?
Douglas,
The method Michael is talking about should work fine for you. Although the
listener is on the whole app, the function called is still scoped to your
component.
You really don't want to use the mouseOff event to stop
dragging, as users will find that annoying to no end.
Here's an example component that should make it a little more
clear.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
button.startDrag(false, new
Rectangle(rule.x,rule.y+rule.height/2-button.height/2, rule.width-button.width,
0));
systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
mouseUpHandler, false, 0, true);
}
private function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
mouseUpHandler, false);
button.stopDrag();
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HRule id=rule left=0 right=0 height=3 verticalCenter=0 /
mx:RadioButton id=button selected=true
mouseDown=mouseDownHandler(event)
top={rule.y+rule.height/2-button.height/2} height=13 width=13 /
/mx:Canvas

Re: [flexcoders] MouseUpSomewhere event, whence hast thou gone?
Doug, It's because you add the mouse up listener in the mouse down action. then you KNOW it is a mouse up from the last mouse down. in the mouse up, remove the mouse up. :) Peace, Mike On 2/5/07, Grant Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: oh yeah.. lets add a numeric status and right now it can be 0 or 1 and a message that goes with it..
