Double-clicking a draggable component

Question

I have an image that I want to be draggable as well as
double-clickable.
However, when I use a mouseDown event to initiate the drag,
and a doubleClick event to do something else (display a popup
form), the doubleClick event seems to get canceled out (ie the
popup form doesn't appear upon double-clicking the image). Only
when I remove the mouseDown event can I get the doubleClick event
to register. Similarly, after double-clicking, my dragComplete
event fires - consequently removing my image.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? A snippet of the code
below, trimmed for simplicity:
// drop the dragged item
private function dropData(parameters...):void{
var dropData:Image = new Image();
// set properties on the dropped data
dropData.source =
"images/image-placeholder.jpg";
dropData.doubleClickEnabled = true;
dropData.addEventListener("doubleClick",
showImageForm);
dropData.addEventListener("mouseDown",
dragItHandler);
dropData.addEventListener("dragExit",
dragExitHandler);
dropData.addEventListener("dragComplete",
dragCompleteHandler);
event.currentTarget.addChildAt(dropData, 0);

Answer 1

I did. It was a while ago now so my memory is a little fuzzy
but from what I recall there wasn't any way to prevent the
mouseDown event firing with a doubleClick event so I had to go with
a timer/interval. There is a good write up on how to approach it
here (plus some sample code):

Best of luck!
