In a mobile application, the content area of the application displays the individual screens, or views, that make up the application. Users navigate the views of the application by using the touch screen, components built into the application, and the input controls of the mobile device.
The following image shows a View container with a List control:
                  
               
Each view in an application corresponds to a View container defined 
  in an ActionScript or MXML file. 
  Each View contains a data property that specifies the data 
  associated with that view. 
  Views can use the data property to pass information to each 
  other as the user navigates the application.
Hide MXML SyntaxThe <s:View> tag inherits all of the tag 
  attributes of its superclass and adds the following tag attributes:

This component uses skins made up of skin parts. Do not set the skin parts directly. The component's skin sets the skin parts.
To skin the component, implement a skin that defines the following states. Although you must implement all skin states, a skin state can be empty. An empty skin state specifies no changes to the default skin state.

Use the titleContent property to define 
      the components that appear in the title area. 
      If you specify a value for the titleContent property, 
      the ActionBar skin ignores the title property.
 The default value is "".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.

titleContent:Array| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 4.5 | 
| Runtime Versions : | AIR 2.5 | 
      This property overrides the titleContent
      property in the ActionBar, ViewNavigator, and 
      ViewNavigatorApplication components.
     
      
titleGroup 
      skin part of the ActionBar control.
           The location and appearance of the titleGroup 
      skin part is determined by the ActionBarSkin class.
      The default ActionBarSkin class defines the titleGroup
      to appear in the center of the ActionBar,
      using the space remaining between navigationGroup 
      and actionGroup skin parts.
If titleContent is null, the
      titleDisplay skin part, if present, is displayed 
      in place of the titleGroup skin part.
Create a custom ActionBarSkin skin class to change the default 
      location and appearance of the titleGroup skin part.
 The default value is null.

      in place of the titleGroup skin part. 
      The titleDisplay skin part is positioned 
      in the center of the ActionBar control
      by using the paddingLeft and 
      paddingRight properties  of the layout 
      class specified by the titleLayout property.
 The default value is null.

 public function createReturnObject():Object| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 4.5 | 
| Runtime Versions : | AIR 2.5 | 
Creates an object returned to the view navigator when this view is popped off the navigator's stack.
Override this method in a View to return data back the new 
      view when this view is popped off the stack. 
      The createReturnObject() method returns a single Object.
      The Object returned by this method is written to the 
      ViewNavigator.poppedViewReturnedObject property. 
The ViewNavigator.poppedViewReturnedObject property
      is of type ViewReturnObject.
      The ViewReturnObject.object property contains the 
      value returned by this method. 
If the poppedViewReturnedObject property is null, 
      no data was returned. 
      The poppedViewReturnedObject property is guaranteed to be set 
      in the new view before the new view receives the add event.
Object — The value written to the object field of the 
      ViewNavigator.poppedViewReturnedObject property.
