Event detail

comAdded

event

Event object type: org.aswing.event.ContainerEvent
ContainerEvent.type property = org.aswing.event.ContainerEvent.COM_ADDED

Dispatched when a component is added to a container. The following methods trigger this event: Container.addChild(com:Component), Container.addChildAt(com:Component, index:int), Container.append(), Container.insert().

The AWEvent.COM_ADDED constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a comAdded event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`getContainer()`	the container who just be added a child.
`getChild()`	the added child.
`currentTarget`	The 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`.
`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.

comRemoved

event

Event object type: org.aswing.event.ContainerEvent
ContainerEvent.type property = org.aswing.event.ContainerEvent.COM_REMOVED

Dispatched when a component is removed from a container. The following methods trigger this event: Container.removeChild(com:Component), Container.removeChildAt(com:Component, index:int), Container.remove(), Container.removeAt().

The AWEvent.COM_REMOVED constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a comRemoved event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`getContainer()`	the container who just be removed a child.
`getChild()`	the removed child.
`currentTarget`	The 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`.
`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.
