Indicates whether the Alt key is active (true) or inactive (false). Supported for Windows and Linux operating systems only.

Indicates whether the command key is activated (Mac only).

On a Mac OS, the value of the commandKey property is the same value as the ctrlKey property. This property is always false on Windows or Linux.

Indicates whether the Control key is activated on Mac and whether the Ctrl key is activated on Windows or Linux.

On Windows or Linux, indicates whether the Ctrl key is active (true) or inactive (false). On Macintosh, indicates whether either the Control key or the Command key is activated.

Indicates whether the first point of contact is mapped to mouse events.

If true, the relatedObject property is set to null for reasons related to security sandboxes. If the nominal value of relatedObject is a reference to a DisplayObject in another sandbox, relatedObject is set to null unless there is permission in both directions across this sandbox boundary. Permission is established by calling Security.allowDomain() from a SWF file, or by providing a policy file from the server of an image file, and setting the LoaderContext.checkPolicyFile property when loading the image.

The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.

The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.

A value between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating force of the contact with the device. If the device does not support detecting the pressure, the value is 1.0.

A reference to a display list object that is related to the event. For example, when a touchOut event occurs, relatedObject represents the display list object to which the pointing device now points. This property applies to the touchOut, touchOver, touchRollOut, and touchRollOver events.

The value of this property can be null in two circumstances: if there is no related object, or there is a related object, but it is in a security sandbox to which you don't have access. Use the isRelatedObjectInaccessible() property to determine which of these reasons applies.

Indicates whether the Shift key is active (true) or inactive (false).

Width of the contact area.

Height of the contact area.

The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred in global Stage coordinates. This property is calculated when the localX property is set.

The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred in global Stage coordinates. This property is calculated when the localY property is set.

A unique identification number (as an int) assigned to the touch point.

Creates an Event object that contains information about touch events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Creates a copy of the TouchEvent object and sets the value of each property to match that of the original.

Returns a string that contains all the properties of the TouchEvent object. The string is in the following format:

[TouchEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value ... ]

Instructs Flash Player or Adobe AIR to render after processing of this event completes, if the display list has been modified.
