Property Detail

activating

property
activating:Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9

Indicates whether the device is activating (true) or deactivating (false).

Constructor Detail

ActivityEvent

()Constructor
public function ActivityEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, activating:Boolean = false)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9

Creates an event object that contains information about activity events. Event objects are passed as parameters to Event listeners.

Parameters
type:String — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property. There is only one type of activity event: ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling phase of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited bubbles property.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited cancelable property.
 
activating:Boolean (default = false) — Indicates whether the device is activating (true) or deactivating (false). Event listeners can access this information through the activating property.

Constant Detail

ACTIVITY

Constant
public static const ACTIVITY:String = "activity"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0

ActivityEventExample.as

The following example demonstrates the use of the ActivityEvent class by attaching an event listener method named activityHandler() to the microphone and generating text information every time the microphone generates an activity event.
package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.ActivityEvent;
    import flash.media.Microphone;

    public class ActivityEventExample extends Sprite {
        public function ActivityEventExample() {
            var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
            mic.addEventListener(ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY, activityHandler);
        }

        private function activityHandler(event:ActivityEvent):void {
            trace("event: " + event);
            trace("event.activating: " + event.activating);
        }
    }
}
