Window.click

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObject:Object) {
    // ...
};
windowInstance.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);

on (click) {
    // ...
}

Description

Event; broadcast to all registered listeners when the mouse is clicked (released) over the close button.

The first usage example uses a dispatcher/listener event model. A component instance (windowInstance) dispatches an event (in this case, click) and the event is handled by a function, also called a handler, on a listener object (listenerObject) that you create. You define a method with the same name as the event on the listener object; the method is called when the event is triggered. When the event is triggered, it automatically passes an event object (eventObject) to the listener object method. The event object has properties that contain information about the event. You can use these properties to write code that handles the event. Finally, you call the EventDispatcher.addEventListener() method on the component instance that broadcasts the event to register the listener with the instance. When the instance dispatches the event, the listener is called.

The second usage example uses an on() handler and must be attached directly to a Window instance. The keyword this, used inside an on() handler attached to a component, refers to the component instance. For example, the following code, attached to the Window instance myWindow, sends "_level0.myWindow" to the Output panel:

on(click){
    trace(this);
}

Example

The following example creates a modal window with a close button. It defines a click handler that calls the click() method to delete the window when the user clicks the button. You drag a Window component from the Components panel to the current document's library; then add the following code to Frame 1:

/**
 Requires:
  - Window component in library
*/

import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.Window;

System.security.allowDomain("http://www.flash-mx.com");

var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"http://www.flash-mx.com/images/image1.jpg"});
var winListener:Object = new Object();
winListener.click = function() {
 my_win.deletePopUp();
};
my_win.addEventListener("click", winListener);
