Event detail
actevent 
Event object type: org.aswing.event.AWEvent
AWEvent.type property = org.aswing.event.AWEvent.ACT

Dispatched when the button's model take action, generally when user click the button or doClick() method is called.

The AWEvent.ACT constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a act event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use comp.addEventListener() to register an event listener, comp is the value of the currentTarget.
targetThe 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.
