Constant Detail

ELEMENT_ADD | Constant

`public static const ELEMENT_ADD:String = elementAdd`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The `ElementExistenceEvent.ELEMENT_ADD` constant defines the value of the `type` property of the event object for an `elementAdd` event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property | Value
--- | ---
`bubbles` | false
`cancelable` | false
`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`.
`element` | Contains a reference to the visual element that was added.
`index` | The index where the visual element that was added.
`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.

ELEMENT_REMOVE | Constant |

`public static const ELEMENT_REMOVE:String = elementRemove`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The `ElementExistenceEvent.ELEMENT_REMOVE` constant defines the value of the `type` property of the event object for an `elementRemove` event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property | Value
--- | ---
`bubbles` | false
`cancelable` | false
`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`.
`element` | A reference to the visual element that is about to be removed.
`index` | The index of visual element that is being removed.
`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.
