Property Detail

delta

property
public var delta:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3

property 
public var dividerIndex:int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constant Detail

DIVIDER_DRAG

Constant
public static const DIVIDER_DRAG:String = "dividerDrag"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The DividerEvent.DIVIDER_DRAG constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dividerDrag event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
deltaContains the number of pixels that the divider has been dragged. Positive numbers represent a drag toward the right or bottom, negative numbers toward the left or top.
dividerIndexContains the zero-based index of the divider being dragged. The leftmost or topmost divider has a dividerIndex of 0.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.

DIVIDER_PRESS

Constant 
public static const DIVIDER_PRESS:String = "dividerPress"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The DividerEvent.DIVIDER_PRESS constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dividerPress event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
deltaContains the number of pixels that the divider has been dragged. Positive numbers represent a drag toward the right or bottom, negative numbers toward the left or top.
dividerIndexContains the zero-based index of the divider being dragged. The leftmost or topmost divider has a dividerIndex of 0.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.

DIVIDER_RELEASE

Constant 
public static const DIVIDER_RELEASE:String = "dividerRelease"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The DividerEvent.DIVIDER_RELEASE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dividerRelease event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
deltaContains the number of pixels that the divider has been dragged. Positive numbers represent a drag toward the right or bottom, negative numbers toward the left or top.
dividerIndexContains the zero-based index of the divider being dragged. The leftmost or topmost divider has a dividerIndex of 0.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
