Specifies the chrome color used by the default preloader component. This property has the same effect as the chromeColor style used by Spark skins. Typically this property should be set to the same value as the Application container's chromeColor style property.

Note: This property cannot be set by ActionScript code; it must be set in MXML code.

resizeForSoftKeyboard

property

resizeForSoftKeyboard:Boolean

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

AIR 2.5

Some devices do not support a hardware keyboard. Instead, these devices use a keyboard that opens on the screen when necessary. The screen keyboard, also called a soft or virtual keyboard, closes after the user enters the information, or when the user cancels the operation. A value of true means the application is resized when the soft keyboard is open or closed.

To enable application resizing, you must also set the <softKeyboardBehavior> attribute in the application's xml descriptor file to none.

The default value is false.

Implementation
public function get resizeForSoftKeyboard():Boolean
public function set resizeForSoftKeyboard(value:Boolean):void

runtimeDPI

property

runtimeDPI:Number [read-only]

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

AIR 2.5

The DPI of the device the application is currently running on. Flex rounds the value to one of the DPIClassification choices.

Implementation
public function get runtimeDPI():Number

runtimeDPIProvider

property

runtimeDPIProvider:Class

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

AIR 2.5

A class that extends RuntimeDPIProvider and overrides the default Flex calculations for runtimeDPI.

Flex's default mappings are:

160 DPI	<140 DPI
160 DPI	>=140 DPI and <=200 DPI
240 DPI	>=200 DPI and <=280 DPI
320 DPI	>=280 DPI and <=400 DPI
480 DPI	>=400 DPI and <=560 DPI
640 DPI	>=640 DPI

This property cannot be set by ActionScript code; it must be set in MXML code.

The default value is spark.components.RuntimeDPIProvider.

Implementation
public function get runtimeDPIProvider():Class
public function set runtimeDPIProvider(value:Class):void

scriptRecursionLimit

property

public var scriptRecursionLimit:int

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies the maximum depth of Flash Player or AIR call stack before the player stops. This is essentially the stack overflow limit.

Note: This property cannot be set by ActionScript code; it must be set in MXML code.

The default value is 1000.

scriptTimeLimit

property

public var scriptTimeLimit:Number

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies the maximum duration, in seconds, that an ActionScript event handler can execute before Flash Player or AIR assumes that it is hung, and aborts it. The maximum allowable value that you can set is 60 seconds.

The default value is 60.

splashScreenImage

property

splashScreenImage:Class

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The image class for the SplashScreen preloader. Typically you set this property to either an embedded resource or the name of a SplashScreenImage class defined in a separate MXML file. Example of setting splashScreenImage to an embedded image:

splashScreenImage="@Embed('Default.png')"

Note: The property has effect only when the preloader property is set to spark.preloaders.SplashScreen. The spark.preloaders.SplashScreen class is the default preloader for Mobile Flex applications. This property cannot be set by ActionScript code; it must be set in MXML code.

Note: You must add the frameworks\libs\mobile\mobilecomponents.swc to the library path of the application to support the splash screen in a desktop application.

Implementation
public function get splashScreenImage():Class
public function set splashScreenImage(value:Class):void

splashScreenMinimumDisplayTime

property

public var splashScreenMinimumDisplayTime:Number

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

Minimum amount of time, in milliseconds, to show the splash screen image. Specify the splash screen image by using the splashScreenImage property.

Note: The property has effect only when the splashScreenImage property is set and the preloader property is set to spark.preloaders.SplashScreen. The spark.preloaders.SplashScreen class is the default preloader for Mobile Flex applications. This property cannot be set by ActionScript code; it must be set in MXML code.

Note: You must add the frameworks\libs\mobile\mobilecomponents.swc to the library path of the application to support the splash screen in a desktop application.

The default value is 1000.

splashScreenImage
splashScreenScaleMode

splashScreenScaleMode

property

public var splashScreenScaleMode:String

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The splash screen image scale mode:

A value of none implies that the image size is set to match its intrinsic size.
A value of stretch sets the width and the height of the image to the stage width and height, possibly changing the content aspect ratio.
A value of letterbox sets the width and height of the image as close to the stage width and height as possible while maintaining aspect ratio. The image is stretched to a maximum of the stage bounds, with spacing added inside the stage to maintain the aspect ratio if necessary.
A value of zoom is similar to letterbox, except that zoom stretches the image past the bounds of the stage, to remove the spacing required to maintain aspect ratio. This setting has the effect of using the entire bounds of the stage, but also possibly cropping some of the image.

The portion of the stage that is not covered by the image shows in the Application container's backgroundColor.

Note: You must add the frameworks\libs\mobile\mobilecomponents.swc to the library path of the application to support the splash screen in a desktop application.

The default value is "none".

property

viewSourceURL:String

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

URL where the application's source can be viewed. Setting this property inserts a "View Source" menu item into the application's default context menu. Selecting the menu item opens the viewSourceURL in a new window.

You must set the viewSourceURL property using MXML, not using ActionScript, as the following example shows:

        <Application viewSourceURL="http://path/to/source">
          ...
        </Application>

Implementation
public function get viewSourceURL():String
public function set viewSourceURL(value:String):void

Dispatched after the Application has been initialized, processed by the LayoutManager, and attached to the display list.

The FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a applicationComplete event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.
