Event class

Holds basic information about an event.

For many events, such as the events represented by the Event class constants, this basic information is sufficient. Other events, however, may require more detailed information. Events associated with a mouse click, for example, need to include additional information about the location of the click event and whether any keys were pressed during the click event. You can pass such additional information to event listeners by extending the Event class, which is what the MouseEvent class does.

The methods of the Event class can be used in event listener functions to affect the behavior of the event object. You can make the current event listener the last one to process an event by calling the stopPropagation or stopImmediatePropagation method.

captures bool
Indicates whether an event is a capturing event.
no setter
currentTarget EventDispatcher?
The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
no setter
eventPhase EventPhase
The current phase in the event flow.
no setter
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
isImmediatePropagationStopped bool
Indicates if the propagation of this event has been stopped.
no setter
isPropagationStopped bool

stopPropagation() → void
Prevents processing of any event listeners in nodes subsequent to the current node in the event flow.
