The PropertyChangeEvent class represents the event object passed to the event listener when one of the properties of an object has changed, and provides information about the change. This event is used by collection classes, and is the only way for collections to know that the data they represent has changed. This event is also used by the Flex data binding mechanism.

Constant Detail

PROPERTY_CHANGE | Constant

`public static const PROPERTY_CHANGE:String = propertyChange`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The `PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE` constant defines the value of the `type` property of the event object for a `PropertyChange` event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property | Value
--- | ---
`bubbles` | Determined by the constructor; defaults to false.
`cancelable` | Determined by the constructor; defaults to false.
`kind` | The kind of change; PropertyChangeEventKind.UPDATE or PropertyChangeEventKind.DELETE.
`oldValue` | The original property value.
`newValue` | The new property value, if any.
`property` | The property that changed.
`source` | The object that contains the property that changed.
`currentTarget` | The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton 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.
