    Description

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Compile the following mxml application into an AIR app with the flex_sdk_4.5 beta build (4.5.0.17726) and launch it
      2. Click on the link
      3.

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
      					   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
      					   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
      	<fx:Script>
      		<![CDATA[
      			[Bindable] private var html:String = "<html><body>This is a <a href='http://www.adobe.com'>Link</a></body></html>";
      		]]
            >
      	</fx:Script>
      	<mx:HTML width="100%" height="100%" htmlText="{html}" />
      </s:WindowedApplication>
      

      Actual Results:
      Nothing happens. The MOUSE_DOWN event is re-dispatched without the AIR custom properties thus ending in Webkit with clickCount = 0.

      Adding Raul's comment from internal watson bug #2723169:

      "From my investigation, this is a Flex SDK 4.5 bug as in this version, the mouse events are recreated in order to be dispatched (in mx.managers.SystemManager, look for MOUSE_DOWN listener), but the AIR custom properties of a MouseEvent are not copied (clickCount, commandKey, controlKey).

      Because of this, the mouse down event reaches WebKit with clickCount = 0, which basically means: no click on link."

      /**

      • @private
      • Similar to keyDownHandler above. We want to re-dispatch
      • mouse events that are cancellable. Currently we are only doing
      • this for a few mouse events and not all of them (MOUSE_WHEEL and
      • MOUSE_DOWN).
        */
        private function mouseEventHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
        Unknown macro: { if (!e.cancelable) { e.stopImmediatePropagation(); var cancelableEvent:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(e.type, e.bubbles, true, e.localX, e.localY, e.relatedObject, e.ctrlKey, e.altKey, e.shiftKey, e.buttonDown, e.delta); e.target.dispatchEvent(cancelableEvent); } }

      Expected Results:
      The MOUSE_DOWN event must contain the AIR custom properties (clickCount, commandKey, controlKey). Clicking on the link should navigate to www.adobe.com.
