ActionScript 3: Events
A couple of days ago I encountered a problem with Events. I clicked and object, but another returned the event. Despite adding mouseEnabled = false to the objects I didn’t care about, I still couldn’t figure it out. Events is nothing new to me, but this was beginning to get on my nerves.
After a bit of reading I stumbled across an article on Adobe’s Developer Connectionколи под наем, written by Trevor McCauley (Senocular), about events in ActionScript 3 (AS3). It’s basic stuff, and a bit old, but gives some background info that really helped me better understand the anatomy of the event dispatchers and how the entire event thingamybob works under the hood.
It might even be of help to you too. Read it if you like: Introduction to event handling in ActionScript 3.0
