MotionEvent

(Beta)

Package	fl.motion
Class	public class MotionEvent
Inheritance	MotionEvent Event Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flash CS3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

The MotionEvent class represents events that are broadcast by the fl.motion.Animator class. Use these events with an event listener to initiate custom functions. For example, if you have an Animator instance named abox_animator, Flash Player executes the following trace statement when the animation is complete:

Copy

 import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
 abox_animator.addEventListener(MotionEvent.MOTION_END,afterMotion);
 function afterMotion(e:MotionEvent) {
    trace("animation complete!");
 }

	Constant		Defined By
		MOTION_END : String = "motionEnd" [static] Indicates that the motion has stopped, whether by an explicit call to Animator.stop() or Animator.end(), or by reaching the end of the Motion instance.	MotionEvent

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, `myButton` is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`target`	The object that dispatched the event; it is not always the object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the object listening for the event.
