Order and Chaos this time!

Loading a sequence of images in a for loop.
We learn how to put the timer to good use:

I promised you the MouseEvent, here is a drawing movie illustrating the different event playing together.

The mouse is a complex thing!

Here are several eventlisteners for the mouse:

• addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);


• addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, doubleClickHandler);


• addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);


• addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);


• addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);


• addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);


• addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mouseWheelHandler);

A mouse is more complex than a key!
for instance the position, which can be  found using the event like this:
function startDraw ( event:MouseEvent): void

{
var posX : Number = event.stageX;
var posY : Number = event.stageY;
}

used:

• for loop


• timer


• mouse event (in simpledraw)
