CategoryModel class represents the domain object for the assets of type Category.
Domain objects can be leveraged to build presentation on top of them. They ease the
process of coding views by abstracting all the service calls and maintaining meaningful
states.

Indicates if this Category is new. New Category objects are existent purely on the client side until they are saved.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the propertyChange event.

| Product Version: | Asset Composer Building Block 9.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10 |
Creates the domain object from the corresponding value object.
Value Objects are pure data entities mostly acting as parameters to the server apis. Domain objects are build atop to provide more meaningful business data and behavior thereby enabling faster and convenient UI view development.
Parameters
categoryVO:Category — The value object of the type Category
|
CategoryModel — The Category domain object corresponding the passed Category value object.

save | () | method |
public function save():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Asset Composer Building Block 9.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10 |
Saves the underlying value object on the server.
Under the hood, separate calls are required for creating a new asset and copying or copying an existing one.
The save() method internally invokes the relevant server calls
on the basis of its current state. The domain object
constructed from the createFromVO() method would invoke
the "update" api and the domain object starightaway instantiated
on the client would inoke the "create" module api.
Category is somewhat different when compared to other assets. The category object is a "thin" object and thus isn't ever shallow. Moreover, categories cannot be copied.
saveComplete | Event |
com.adobe.icc.editors.events.AssetEventproperty AssetEvent.type =
com.adobe.icc.editors.events.AssetEvent.SAVE_COMPLETE| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Asset Composer Building Block 9.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10 |
Dispatched when the category is successfully saved.
TheAssetEvent.SAVE_COMPLETE constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a saveComplete event.
The saveComplete event is dispatched when the domain object has been
successfully saved on the server. Unlike the saving event, this is dispatched
in an aysnchronous manner only after the server has responded with a result for the save api
call.
This event can be used to stop UI animations indicating "save in progress" or to popup an info box indicating save success.
saveFault | Event |
com.adobe.icc.editors.events.AssetEventproperty AssetEvent.type =
com.adobe.icc.editors.events.AssetEvent.SAVE_FAULT| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Asset Composer Building Block 9.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10 |
Dispatched when a fault occurs while saving the category.
TheAssetEvent.SAVE_FAULT constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a saveFault event.
The saveFault event is dispatched when the server reports an error while
saving the asset on the server. Unlike the saving event, this is dispatched
in an aysnchronous manner only after the server has responded with a result for the save api
call.
When this event is dispatched, the fault property contains the fault object
encapsulating the error sent by the server. The fault property can be used to
determine the faultCode and show an error message accordingly.
This event can be used to stop UI animations indicating "save in progress" or to popup an info box indicating save success.
saving | Event |
com.adobe.icc.editors.events.AssetEventproperty AssetEvent.type =
com.adobe.icc.editors.events.AssetEvent.SAVING| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Asset Composer Building Block 9.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10 |
Dispatched when the current category is requested for save. This event, being bubbling in nature, can be leveraged by the UI to display a progress bar or animation to indicate the save progress.
TheAssetEvent.SAVING constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a saving event.
The saving event is dispatched when the save() method has been
called on the domain object. This event is dispatched before any server api
is invoked but after the domain client validations are complete. This is because
the actual save starts once the client validations are complete.
This event can be used to start a UI animation indicating "save in progress".
