Hi JC,

I guess u need to remove your comment of DVTwoSingleClicksManager from this post

Anyways its really a great workaround. I was very inspired by your post “Why front-end developers are so important to the future of businesses on the web”

Thanks,
Shashank

Comment on Firefox 3.6 breaks Flex’s doubleClick Event by JC Pontaza

Thanks for taking the time to read the code, actually the purpose of this peace of code is just to give an idea of what I was trying to do to fix the issue, that in my case is serious since some of my users are Mac/Firefox users and since Flex suppose to be cross browser compatible, I can’t tell some users “I am sorry, you cant use the app”, so I have to find a solution. I am glad you don’t have to go and change your app, I hate when something like this happen.

All the points you described before, are valid and and actually implemented on my app code, as and I said before this is just the initial idea that I wanted to share with the people felling my pain, those obvious things that you described are things that you as Flex developer should know by default and you should modify and add to this temporary solution, I am sorry if somebody misunderstood and though that this was a fully functional class, maybe I should have specified it a little more.

About the event been triggered twice, that’s not going to happen, see that the this event is only been triggered on two CLICK events on the same position, not on DOUBLE_CLICK, so if “the double click event works” in your browser then the standard double click will get fired, otherwise the doubleclick will never get fired and then the double single click will get dispatched.

I tested on different environments to make sure and it does not get fired twice, if you find otherwise please let me know.

Well, I can see what you are trying to do. But, triggering double click event like that won’t work well
1) Display Objects like stage can’t use your class
2) adding a weak reference to object forces the user to have a persistent object or else the object will be cleared by the garbage collector
3) You won’t be able to tell if control, alt or shift were pressed or not, and the co-ordinates of the click event.
4) Looking for an exact match for the mouse position, makes your component loose some real double click events. Its been triggered by user and hence we should give a tolerance limit.

All this can be solved with minor mod, but the only real problem is on regular cases, the event will be dispatched twice, once by your class, other by the component itself. So we have to disable the doubleClickEnabled in all our project code.

It happens only on leopard + fire-fox 3.6 combination, I wouldn’t go and change my entire application for some one’s slip, unless the client asks us explicitly to do so

Right click on the example to get the source code.

I am working on a full Flex framework that is coming soon, so i guess a more complete version of this will be there.

Bravo! I love this solution! Please keep me posted when you do your official release. There is another library out there for this, but I dislike their methodology. (I peeked at your source code and liked what I saw) heh
