class TouchEvent

package js.html

extends UIEvent › Event

Available on HTML5

The TouchEvent interface represents an event sent when the state of contacts with a touch-sensitive surface changes. This surface can be a touch screen or trackpad, for example. The event can describe one or more points of contact with the screen and includes support for detecting movement, addition and removal of contact points, and so forth.

Inherited Variables

Defined by UIEvent

cancelBubble:Bool

Is a Boolean indicating whether the bubbling of the event has been canceled or not.

read onlydetail:Int

Returns a long with details about the event, depending on the event type.

read onlyisChar:Bool

Returns a Boolean indicating whether the event produced a key character or not.

read onlylayerX:Int

Returns the horizontal coordinate of the event relative to the current layer.

read onlylayerY:Int

Returns the vertical coordinate of the event relative to the current layer.

read onlypageX:Int

Returns the horizontal coordinate of the event relative to the whole document.

read onlypageY:Int

Returns the vertical coordinate of the event relative to the whole document.

read onlyrangeOffset:Int

read onlyrangeParent:Node

read onlyview:Window

Returns a WindowProxy that contains the view that generated the event.

read onlywhich:Int

Returns the numeric keyCode of the key pressed, or the character code (charCode) for an alphanumeric key pressed.

Defined by Event

read onlybubbles:Bool

A Boolean indicating whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not.

read onlycancelable:Bool

A Boolean indicating whether the event is cancelable.

read onlycurrentTarget:EventTarget

A reference to the currently registered target for the event. This is the object to which the event is currently slated to be sent to; it's possible this has been changed along the way through retargeting.

read onlydefaultPrevented:Bool

Indicates whether or not event.preventDefault() has been called on the event.

read onlyeventPhase:Int

Indicates which phase of the event flow is being processed.

read onlyexplicitOriginalTarget:EventTarget

The explicit original target of the event (Mozilla-specific).

read onlyisTrusted:Bool

Indicates whether or not the event was initiated by the browser (after a user click for instance) or by a script (using an event creation method, like event.initEvent)

read onlyoriginalTarget:EventTarget

The original target of the event, before any retargetings (Mozilla-specific).

read onlytarget:EventTarget

A reference to the target to which the event was originally dispatched.

read onlytimeStamp:Float

The time at which the event was created, in milliseconds. By specification, this value is time since epoch, but in reality browsers' definitions vary; in addition, work is underway to change this to be a DOMHighResTimeStamp instead.

read onlytype:String

The name of the event (case-insensitive).

Inherited Methods

Defined by UIEvent

initUIEvent (aType:String, aCanBubble:Bool, aCancelable:Bool, aView:Window, aDetail:Int):Void

Initializes a UIEvent object. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing.

Defined by Event

getPreventDefault ():Bool

Non-standard. Returns the value of Event.defaultPrevented. Use Event.defaultPrevented instead.

initEvent (type:String, bubbles:Bool, cancelable:Bool):Void

Initializes the value of an Event created. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing.

preventDefault ():Void

Cancels the event (if it is cancelable).

stopImmediatePropagation ():Void

For this particular event, no other listener will be called. Neither those attached on the same element, nor those attached on elements which will be traversed later (in capture phase, for instance)

stopPropagation ():Void

Stops the propagation of events further along in the DOM.
