Firefox 3.6 Mac bug with MouseEvent
Posted by: Romuald in talking, tags: as3, experiment, flash, html, javascriptFirefox 3.6 introduced a very annoying bug, and only on a Mac.
If you're using somewhere a MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT or MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, this event will fired even if you only click on a object without leave the object with the mouse.
The select box in the middle of the page doesn't work because a roll out event is fired when you click on it.
I didn't try yet to find a fix with MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN, but the problem is, all the existing sites that are using those events might be broken...
I believe Firefox is, or not firing the right event, or removing and putting back the flash so it loses the focus, meaning roll out is fired... A friend told me that the same things happen with java applet, didn't verify it yet.
To test it, paste this as a document class:
-
package com.soundstep.baseui.demo {
-
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
-
import flash.display.Sprite;
-
public class Main extends Sprite {
-
public function Main() {
-
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
-
s.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
-
s.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
-
s.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, test);
-
addChild(s);
-
}
-
private function test(e:MouseEvent):void {
-
trace("ok");
-
}
-
}
-
}
Click on the square and you'll see that the MOUSE_OUT is fired...
I hope they'll fix soon or I'll have to find a hack and change everything that is live.
