FLEX: how to ignore MouseEvents from the container ?
- by Patrick
hi,
I've some objects on the canvas, and I added eventListeners to these objects for MOUSE_UP event.
I'm know checking if it works by tracing e.target.name, and I found out that the event is triggered twice, before on the element container (Canvas) and then the element itself.
I read several times the documentation about Capture, Bubbling etc.. but I don't understand how to trigger the events only from the element itself...
child.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, updateSelectedTags);
private function updateSelectedTags(e:MouseEvent):void {
Alert.show(e.currentTarget.name); //I have 2 alerts, one for canvas, the other one for the child
}
}
thanks
