Property Detail

id

property
id:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Versions: BlazeDS 4, LiveCycle Data Services 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The global FlexClient Id for this Player instance. This value is server assigned and is set as part of the Channel connect process. Once set, it will not change for the duration of the Player instance's lifespan. If no Channel has connected to a server this value is null.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the propertyChange event.

Event Detail

propertyChange

Event
Event Object Type: mx.events.PropertyChangeEvent
property PropertyChangeEvent.type = mx.events.PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Versions: BlazeDS 4, LiveCycle Data Services 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when a property of the FlexClient singleton changes. Listeners must be added via FlexClient.getInstance().addEventListener(...).

The PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a PropertyChange event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesDetermined by the constructor; defaults to false.
cancelableDetermined by the constructor; defaults to false.
kindThe kind of change; PropertyChangeEventKind.UPDATE or PropertyChangeEventKind.DELETE.
oldValueThe original property value.
newValueThe new property value, if any.
propertyThe property that changed.
sourceThe object that contains the property that changed.
currentTargetThe 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.
targetThe 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.
