CLICK and DOUBLE_CLICK Events

I’m curious if anyone need handle both events on same component in same time. Just imagine situation: You got circle. On MouseEvent.CLICK you want to decrease radius by 10px, on MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK increase radius by 10px. It is obvious that when you double click on circle, you dont want to fired both: decrease and increase radius.

Sure, there can be some “workarounds” with timer or “somehow” canceling CLICK event on DOUBLE_CLICK, but I hope there is “normal solution” from Adobe. Can anyone point me to that “normal solution”

P.S. Do not forget to set doubleClickEnabled=”true” to be able to listen to MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK
