Constant Detail

DRAG_COMPLETE

Constant

public static const DRAG_COMPLETE:String = "dragComplete"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragComplete event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`action`	The action that caused the event: `DragManager.COPY`, `DragManager.LINK`, `DragManager.MOVE`, or `DragManager.NONE`.
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`true`
`ctrlKey`	Indicates whether the Control key is down (`true`) or not (`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 `currentTarget`.
`draggedItem`	The item being dragged.
`dropParent`	The object that parents the item that was dropped.
`shiftKey`	Indicates whether the Shift key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`target`	The object that dispatched the event; it is not always the object that listens for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the object listening for the event.

DRAG_DROP

Constant

public static const DRAG_DROP:String = "dragDrop"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragDrop event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`action`	The action that caused the event: `DragManager.COPY`, `DragManager.LINK`, `DragManager.MOVE`, or `DragManager.NONE`.
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`true`
`ctrlKey`	Indicates whether the Control key is down (`true`) or not (`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 `currentTarget`.
`draggedItem`	The item being dragged.
`dropParent`	The object that parents the item that was dropped.
`shiftKey`	Indicates whether the Shift key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`target`	The object that dispatched the event; it is not always the object that listens for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the object that is listening for the event.

DRAG_START

Constant

public static const DRAG_START:String = "dragStart"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Property	Value
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`action`	The action that caused the event: `DragManager.COPY`, `DragManager.LINK`, `DragManager.MOVE`, or `DragManager.NONE`.
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`true`
`ctrlKey`	Indicates whether the Control key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
