public static const ITEM_CLICK:String = "itemClick"

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

The ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for an itemClick 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.
indexThe index of the navigation item that was clicked.
itemThe item in the data provider of the navigation item that was clicked.
labelThe label of the navigation item that was clicked.
relatedObjectThe child object that generated the event.
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.
