Type Event Revision Release 2022.3683 Keywords mouse
Mouse events occur when the mouse cursor moves or when the mouse buttons have been pressed or released. This event provides information about the mouse cursor's current screen coordinates and its button states.
Note that a mouse will generate touch events while holding the primary mouse button down.
Also note that a mouse will generate tap events when clicking the primary mouse button. The tap's event.numTaps property will be set to 1 when single clicking and 2 when double clicking. A tap event will not be raised when clicking any other mouse button.
Only Android 3.1 or higher devices support a mouse via bluetooth or USB.
Android 3.1 and 3.2 only support the mouse's primary button. The event.isSecondaryButtonDown and event.isMiddleButtonDown properties will always be false on these Android operating system versions.
Android 4.0 and higher devices support the mouse's secondary and middle buttons.
