Tap or Scroll? Understand the difference in AS3

I would not agree on using Timer event, instead I would use (and I've been using) this:

sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);

var moving:Boolean;

function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent):void

{

  sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);

  sprite.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);

  //record mouseX and mouseY in variable

}

function mouseMoveHandler(e:MouseEvent):void

{

  moving = true;

  //set sprite's coordinates

}

function mouseUpHandler(e:MouseEvent):void

{

  if (moving)

  {

   //it means it is scrolling

  } else

  {

    //it means it is a click only..
  }

}
