Parameters
type:String — The event type; indicates the action that triggered the event.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Specifies whether the event can bubble up the display list hierarchy.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — Specifies whether the behavior associated with the event can be prevented.

Constant Detail

INVOKE

Constant
public static const INVOKE:String = "invoke"

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

The INVOKE event type.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
token The token that represents the indiviudal call to the method. Used in the asynchronous completion token pattern.
cancelabletrue
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.
message The request Message associated with this 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.
