public function get relatedObject():InteractiveObject
public function set relatedObject(value:InteractiveObject):void

triggerType

property

triggerType:String [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Constructor Detail

SoftKeyboardEvent

()

Constructor

public function SoftKeyboardEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean, cancelable:Boolean, relatedObjectVal:InteractiveObject, triggerTypeVal:String)

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10.2, AIR 2.6

Creates an event object that contains information about soft keyboard activation and de-activation events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters

	`type:String` — The type of the event as a constant value (such as `SOFT_KEYBOARD_ACTIVATE`). Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `type` property.

	`bubbles:Boolean` — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling phase of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `bubbles` property.

	`cancelable:Boolean` — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `cancelable` property.

	`relatedObjectVal:InteractiveObject` — A reference to a display list object that is related to the event.

	`triggerTypeVal:String` — Indicates whether the keyboard event was triggered by an application or user.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`type`	`SOFT_KEYBOARD_ACTIVATE`
`bubbles`	`true`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`relatedObjectVal`	A reference to a display list object that is related to the event.
`triggerTypeVal`	Indicates whether the keyboard event was triggered by an application or user.
`currentTarget`	The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`type`	`SOFT_KEYBOARD_ACTIVATING`
`bubbles`	`true`
`cancelable`	`true` unless the event is dispatched by a StageText object. For StageText objects, the event is not cancellable.
`relatedObjectVal`	A reference to a display list object that is related to the event.
`triggerTypeVal`	Indicates whether the keyboard event was triggered by an application or user.

public static const SOFT_KEYBOARD_DEACTIVATE:String = "softKeyboardDeactivate"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10.2, AIR 2.6

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`type`	`SOFT_KEYBOARD_DEACTIVATE`
`bubbles`	`true`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
