There is no doubleClick interval time option. Flex always dispatches click event with doubleClick event. I think Adobe don’t want to miss any event because of propogation issues. But it is not useful for us with this form ha? :) You can manage it yourself by using a Timer object to wait for interval time. I have done it like that.

Anybody found a way to set the doubleClick interval time? you can set set the repeatInterval and delayInterval for a Button, but i can’t find the doubleClick-interval. (Google didn’t help)

cocodrillo — With the enabled state selected, you can double click and the event is recorded.

I cannot see any difference between the enabled and disabled states.
disabled
[23:57:32 GMT+1000] click
[23:57:32 GMT+1000] click

enabled
[23:57:35 GMT+1000] click
[23:57:35 GMT+1000] click

peterd, you saved me two hours of googling.

to Prashant Khanal: There is a similar problem with mouseWheel, it keeps on firing multiple times when you only have moved the mouseWheel by once. I was working on a project where i had someone’s mouse firing a +1, and -1 in pairs per every mouse Wheel move.

What i did, is add a buffer, meaning, every time the mousewheel moves, you add it to a value, if the value goes above a threshold , then and only then, the mouselistener is fired otherwise not.

you could do a similar thing for doubleClick . make a timer, after every click. if there is another double click fired. you only take double click in account.

however one bad thing adobe did for event listeners is that, they don’t show the list of events, listening for some kind of event.

Is there any way you can isolate your double click event from click event. As you can see in your example double-click also fires click event which is very obvious but is there any way you can bypass the click event on doubleclick?
