Class TriggerEvent

java.lang.Object

org.hybird.animation.trident.triggers.TriggerEvent

Direct Known Subclasses:

FocusTriggerEvent, MouseTriggerEvent

public class TriggerEvent
extends Object

Superclass for all TriggerEvents used in the Trigger classes. The methods here are mostly protected; it is expected that callers will not use this class directly, but will instead use subclasses with pre-defined event types. The purpose of this superclass is to provide the ability for Trigger to treat event types generically, rather than to have all even logic in the subclasses of Trigger.

Method Detail

getOppositeEvent

public TriggerEvent getOppositeEvent()

This method returns the 'opposite' event from itself. This is used by Trigger in running an auto-reversing animation, to determine whether an opposite event has occurred (and whether to stop/reverse the animation). Note that some events may have no opposite. Default behavior returns same event; subclasses with multiple/opposite events must override to do the right thing here.
