Constant

public static const CARET_CHANGE:String = "caretChange"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The IndexChangeEvent.CARET_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a caretChange event, which indicates that the current item in focus is about to change.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The 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`.
`inputType`	Indicates whether this event was caused by a mouse or keyboard interaction.
`newIndex`	The zero-based index of the selected item after the change.
`oldIndex`	The zero-based index of the selected item before the change.
`target`	The 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.
