The PauseInstance class implements the instance class for the Pause effect. Flex creates an instance of this class when it plays a Pause effect; you do not create one yourself.

Property Detail

eventName

property
public var eventName:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Name of event that Pause is waiting on before ending. This parameter must be used in conjunction with the target property, which must be of type IEventDispatcher; all events must originate from some dispatcher.

Listening for eventName is also related to the duration property, which acts as a timeout for the event. If the event is not received in the time period specified by duration, the effect will end, regardless.

This property is optional; the default action is to play without waiting for any event.

Constructor Detail

PauseInstance

()Constructor
public function PauseInstance(target:Object)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Parameters
target:Object — This argument is ignored by the Pause effect. It is included for consistency with other effects.
