Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Capture
events a la the underlying transparent window from PopUpManager
Hi Everybody,
If its a hack, workaround or the way its suppose
to work does not
matter as I have found a solution that works.
Just as the documentation for the PopUpManager
suggests, the solution
is to put a independent layer underneath the layer
containing the
components and then disable this layer. This
disabling will
eventually intercept all user input and discard
them as it is
disabled.
Thanks anyways for the help everybody.
Cheers,
Pedro

Hi Everybody,
Thanks for your help.
However, before I raise the white flag I jsut
want to make I am not
missing anything...
Excempt from the documentation for the
UIObject mouseDown event:
...The event will only be broadcast by
the component if the mouse
is
not also over a child of the component that
has a mouseDown
listener,
or the component is not obscured by another
component with a
mouseDown listener...
They way I interpret that is that it should
not propagate if
there is a handler registered?
Please let me know if I am minunderstanding
anyting ?
Best regards,
Pedro

Like Manish, I'm also rusty now on 1.5,
but my recollection is
the
same:
Setting event.bubbles = false in your
Panel's mouseDown handler
should
prevent it from bubbling up the parent
chain.
And if this doesn't work and we can't
figure out how to prevent
the
bubbling, then you could put protection
code in the ancestors'
mouse
handlers to check whether event.target
is what you expect it to
be.
In Flex 2.0, you can use event.stopPropagation()
or
event.stopImmediatePropagation() to
prevent the bubbling. The
difference
is that stopPropagation() will allow the
remaining handlers on
the
same
object to execute.

Sorry, no - its actually the
opposite I am trying to achieve.
Where
the
underlying layers do not recieve
the event.
Part of my MXML:
mx:Panel
[snip]
mouseDown=this.shoppingcartViewHelper.onMouseDown
(event)
[snip]
The questions is how do I get this
panel to capture all mouse-
events
and NOT bubble them on to the lower
layers?
Sorry, I really don't remember how this
worked in Flex 1.5, but
can
you try setting event.bubbles to false
(in the mouseDown handler)?
