    Question CS4/AS3: What is the difference between MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP and MouseEvent.CLICK???

    What is the difference between MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP and MouseEvent.CLICK?

    Why should I use one of these over the other?

    Code:
    myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fNavigate, false, 0, true);

myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fNavigate, false, 0, true);

    MOUSE_UP is fired only when the mouse button is released. MOUSE_CLICK needs to have both the mouse being pressed and mouse being released to be fired.

    There are cases when you need to be able to distinguish between the two. I recently made a site where the user could click and drag photos all around the stage (Using MOUSE_DOWN to startDrag, and MOUSE_UP to stop), but if they were clicked then a menu would open for that photo.
