How to force a mouse up event ?

[as3proto]

How would one force/trigger a mouse up event (besides lifting finger) in as3?

[Ziggwies]

Look into "dispatchEvent".

Try...

buttonName.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP));

It's not a button. It's on the stage. However, I think I see what your are getting at and will try it.

Thank you

hmmm ... that didn't work as expected (the call was correct and good to know that for future reference).

Also discovered onMouseUp(null) did the same thing.

Essentially pressing the mouse button shoots a bullet. When I get a hit I get another bullet shot out immediately after the hit which isn't what I need. I need to have a set delay between firing.

timer, perhaps?

I got it working ... it was my own stupid fault ... just had to get the booleans squared away ... not sure how to mark this as resolved :-S
