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.
Explanation is 100% perfect.
