Mouse events bubble, not blow, or blow bubbles. You can read up on bubbling in the doc or on the W3C site. If it were to truly "blow" I don't think the W3C would have approved it.
Your display object tree looks something like: App | Container | Button When you click on the button, the click will bubble up from the button to the Container to the App. If you handle the click at the button level, and in doing so add a click listener to the app, when it bubbles up it will see it. You'll have to add the click event later, or set a flag to ignore the first click it sees. Bubbling actually allows you to listen for all clicks in an app in one place, but you have to understand the rules. Note that you will also get clicks from scrollbar buttons, Tabs and other things you may not think of as buttons, so you'll probably want to filter in your hanlder anyway. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ashley Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Event issue. Please help. I am adding it to the entire application as I want to be notified of any click in the application window. Let me get this straight. If I add a mouse listener during a state changed event then the mouse listener will receive the the state changed event? Or it's receiving the mouse click event that caused the state change? Either way it blows. How do I add the mouse event listener then? --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Looks like you're adding the click handler to the entire > document/application. > > Most mouse events bubble, so if you add a listener to the parent in your > handler it will see it after you handle it.
