Property Detail
currentStateproperty
currentState:String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : FlexJS 0.0
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10.2, AIR 2.6

The name of the current state.


Implementation
    public function get currentState():String
    public function set currentState(value:String):void
mxmlContentproperty 
public var mxmlContent:Array

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : FlexJS 0.0
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10.2, AIR 2.6

The default property. Child tags in MXML documents get assigned to this property, but are actually encoded by the compiler into the MXMLDescriptor array. Therefore, setting this property from ActionScript will have no effect at runtime.

MXMLDescriptorproperty 
MXMLDescriptor:Array  [read-only]

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : FlexJS 0.0
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10.2, AIR 2.6

An array of data that describes the MXML attributes and tags in an MXML document. This data is usually decoded by an MXMLDataInterpreter


Implementation
    public function get MXMLDescriptor():Array
statesproperty 
states:Array

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : FlexJS 0.0
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10.2, AIR 2.6

The array of view states. These should be instances of mx.states.State.


Implementation
    public function get states():Array
    public function set states(value:Array):void

Method Detail
addedToParent()method
override public function addedToParent():void
