Constant
public static const SELECT:String = "select"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.5

The SparkListItemSelectEvent.SELECT constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for an event that is dispatched when a single item is selected.

The properties of the event object have the following values. Not all properties are meaningful for all kinds of events. See the detailed property descriptions for more information.

PropertyValue
altKeyBoolean value indicating whether the Alt key was pressed at the time of the event.
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
ctrlKeyBoolean value indicating whether the Ctrl key was pressed at the time of the event.
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.
itemRendererThe item renderer object for the item.
shiftKeyBoolean value indicating whether the Shift key was pressed at the time of 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.
triggerEventThe event, such as a mouse or keyboard event, that triggered the action.
