InheritancePropertyChangeEvent Inheritance flash.events.Event

The PropertyChangeEvent class represents the event object passed to the event listener when one of the properties of an object has changed, and provides information about the change. This event is used by collection classes, and is the only way for collections to know that the data they represent has changed. This event is also used by the Flex data binding mechanism.

Constant detail
PROPERTY_CHANGEconstant
public static const PROPERTY_CHANGE:String = "propertyChange"

The PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a PropertyChange event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesDetermined by the constructor; defaults to false.
cancelableDetermined by the constructor; defaults to false.
kindThe kind of change; PropertyChangeEventKind.UPDATE or PropertyChangeEventKind.DELETE.
oldValueThe original property value.
newValueThe new property value, if any.
propertyThe property that changed.
sourceThe object that contains the property that changed.
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
