InheritanceCairngormEvent Inheritance flash.events.Event

The CairngormEvent class is mandatory for Cairngorm event dispatching. It is used to differentiate Cairngorm events from events raised by the underlying Flex framework (or similar).

For more information on how event dispatching works in Cairngorm, please check with CairngormEventDispatcher.

Events are typically broadcast as the result of a user gesture occuring in the application, such as a button click, a menu selection, a double click, a drag and drop operation, etc.
