InheritanceReleaseEvent Inheritance flash.events.MouseEvent

Event for display object release and release outside.

Generally, if you need the target, you may need the pressTarget indeed. The pressTarget property is the target of which object was pressed and then released. The target property is the object which was released, but maybe it is not pressed, i mean, its child was press, not itself. So, use getPressTarget() to get the right target.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue

cancelablefalse
getPressTarget()The object that is the target which is pressed and then released
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.
