Sorry, but there isn't an explicit doubleclick event in Flash itself...

buttons have press, release, release-outside, rollover, rollout, dragover

and dragout events, but not an automatic doubleclick, sorry.


If you're comfortable with scripting you can simulate this by assigning the

getTimer value to a variable. Here's an example in pseudo-script:


  on click

    if (theVariable - theTimer) < someValue then

       --  it was close enough to be a doubleclick

    else set theVariable to theTimer

  end click


I don't think we have a technote with a fully-commented version yet, and

I'm not sure whether any of the other contributors to the culture have also

written up examples... I'm trying to catch up after the FlashForward

conference now, but I'll try to get a fully-worked example on this soon. In

the meantime, I hope the above pointer might be of some use in your work.
