Holds basic information about an event.
For many events, such as the events represented by the Event class constants, this basic information is sufficient. Other events, however, may require more detailed information. Events associated with a mouse click, for example, need to include additional information about the location of the click event and whether any keys were pressed during the click event. You can pass such additional information to event listeners by extending the Event class, which is what the MouseEvent class does.
The methods of the Event class can be used in event listener functions to affect the behavior of the event object. You can make the current event listener the last one to process an event by calling the stopPropagation or stopImmediatePropagation method.

-
Indicates whether an event is a capturing event.
read-only - currentTarget → EventDispatcher
-
The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
read-only - eventPhase → EventPhase
-
The current phase in the event flow.
read-only - hashCode → int
-
Get a hash code for this object.
read-only, inherited - isImmediatePropagationStopped → bool
-
Indicates if the propagation of this event has been stopped.
read-only - isPropagationStopped → bool
-
Indicates if the propagation of this event has been stopped.
read-only - runtimeType → Type
-
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-only, inherited - target → EventDispatcher
-
The event target.
read-only - type → String
-
The type of event.

noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited -
stopImmediatePropagation(
