DOUBLE_CLICK help

Woops. I mean to add:

And if you comment out the line btn.doubleClickEnabled = true; (or
change it to false), the CLICK event handler outputs its line twice in
response to a quick succession of clicks.

The only explanation I would venture is that the event handler is
specifically listening for the MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK event. By
definition, that isn't a succession of single clicks, it's a double click.

If you write an event handler for MouseEvent.CLICK, you'll see it fire
for single clicks, but not double clicks, which may clarify the distinction
(admittedly a subtle one). For example, this snippet:

btn.doubleClickEnabled = true;
btn.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("single click")
}
);
btn.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,
function(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("double click")
}
);

... outputs the following in a double-click situation:

single click
double click

Hi everyone,

According to the documentation on this function:

"If the target InteractiveObject does not have its doubleClickEnabled
flag set to true it receives two click events."

The code I have is:

public function onDoubleCick(eventObj:MouseEvent):void {
trace ('double click!');
}

//in constructort
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,this.onDoubleClick);

Setting the doubleClickEnabled flag works fine, but when it's set to
false, this same code simply doesn't work. It doesn't fire the function
off twice in quick succession or anything, it simply does nothing. Does
anyone know why?

Thanks,
Partick

Did you set the button's doubleClickEnabled property to true?
