: [Flashcoders] AS3 MouseEvent target?
Extending DisplayObject to access some of its native
functionality (e.g.
event bubbling) seems fine to me, especially if you look at
it from the perspective of EventDispatcher has events and
DisplayObject extends EventDispatcher and adds bubbling
which is mouseChildren = false.
In my humble opinion I do not think this is what he needs. He should not be
referencing target, but instead he should reference currentTarget.
If you are adding a listener, the handlers e.currentTarget will point to the
object that you added the listener to,
This behaviour can not emulated precisely because there is no way for us to
set the target and currentTarget properties. This is done by internal
EventDispatcher code.
The EventDispatcher code works something like this:
- check if the target property of the event has been set, if not set it

ah yes - i couldn't get the mouseChildren to work before when i had
drawn in the movieclip but now i've separated the container movieclip
from the drawn-in shape, it' s working
thanks for your help guys
here's a copy of my code in case anyone else is interested:

I think the best way to learn about Event Bubbling is understanding the
Composite desing pattern. This is the pattern the DisplayList is
implementing and bubbling will make much more sense when you understand
the workings of the Composite Pattern. At least it did for me.

the problem with most explanations about event bubbling is that it
concentrates on the displaylist (understandable), i'd like to see an example
of custom events being bubbled. Though Steven's probably right, playing with
it helps alot.

I think that's because only display objects can bubble events, I don't
think non-visual classes can bubble events
I don't necessary see extending DisplayObject as a hack.
It's creative leveraging of AS3's native architecture.
Extending a display object to get the event bubbling of for a non-visual
class - if not a hack, then it's certainly kludgy.

hi guys
in actionscript 3, if i put a mouse event on a movieclip object
containing a textfield, should the mouse event be on the movieclip or
the textfield?
here's my code (comments added to see where the problem is occurring)

private function createPeriodBar(dateStart:int,

Try setting mouseChildren to false

A perfect opportunity for someone more eloquent than I to explain event
bubbling.

IMO, explaining Event Bubbling as the reason the TextField is the target
is complicating the immediate solution he needs, which is mouseChildren
= false.
Yes, it's Event Bubbling that's causing the target to be the TextField.
To understand Event Bubbling, read about it in the docs, or better
You shouldn't be using capture phase until you've got a really good
handle on bubbling phase first.
You shouldn't have bubbling turned on for your button unless you are
planning on catching this event above this clip, as well.
Event Bubbling means that the TextField is dispatching a bubbling
Take off the true flag for bubbling and set mouseChildren = true.
This should solve your issue.
Er, I meant set mouseChildren = false.
