InheritanceScreenMouseEvent Inheritance MouseEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

The SystemTrayIcon object dispatches events of type ScreenMouseEvent in response to mouse interaction.

The ScreenMouseEvent object extends the MouseEvent class to provide two additional properties, screenX and screenY, that report the mouse coordinates in relation to the primary desktop screen rather than an application window or stage.

Constructor Detail
AIR-only ScreenMouseEvent()Constructor
public function ScreenMouseEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, screenX:Number = NaN, screenY:Number = NaN, ctrlKey:Boolean = false, altKey:Boolean = false, shiftKey:Boolean = false, buttonDown:Boolean = false, commandKey:Boolean = false, controlKey:Boolean = false)

Creates a ScreenMouseEvent object that contains the mouse location in screen coordinates.

Parameters
type:String — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — The X position of the click in screen coordinates.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — The Y position of the click in screen coordinates.
 
screenX:Number (default = NaN) — Set to false since screen mouse events never bubble.
 
screenY:Number (default = NaN) — Set to false since there is no default behavior to cancel.
 
ctrlKey:Boolean (default = false) — On Windows, indicates whether the Ctrl key was down when this event occurred. On Mac, indicates whether the Ctrl key or the Command key was down.
 
altKey:Boolean (default = false) — Set to true to indicate that the alt key was down when this event occured.
 
shiftKey:Boolean (default = false) — Set to true to indicate that the shift key was down when this event occured.
 
buttonDown:Boolean (default = false) — Set to true to indicate that a mouse button was down when this event occured.
 
commandKey:Boolean (default = false) — Indicates whether the Command key was down (Mac only).
 
controlKey:Boolean (default = false) — Indicates whether the Ctrl key was down.
