Constant

public static const DRAG_COMPLETE:String = "dragComplete"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragComplete event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`altKey`	Indicates whether the Alt key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).
`action`	The action that caused the event: `DragManager.COPY`, `DragManager.LINK`, `DragManager.MOVE`, or `DragManager.NONE`.

`draggedItem`	The item being dragged.
`dropParent`	The object that parents the item that was dropped.
`shiftKey`	Indicates whether the Shift key is down (`true`) or not (`false`).

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:
