data

property 
data:Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

Lets you pass a value to the component when you use it in an item renderer or item editor. You typically use data binding to bind a field of the data property to a property of this component.

When you use the control as a drop-in item renderer or drop-in item editor, Flex automatically writes the current value of the item to the text property of this control.

You cannot set this property in MXML.

The default value is null.

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



Implementation
    public function get data():Object
    public function set data(value:Object):void

historyPosition

property 
historyPosition:int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

The current position in the history list.

The history list corresponds to the window.history object of the HTML content. Entries less than the current position are the "back" list; entries greater are "forward." Attempting to set the position beyond the end sets it to the end.

The default value is 0.



Implementation
    public function get historyPosition():int
    public function set historyPosition(value:int):void
AIR-only 

htmlHost

property 
htmlHost:flash.html:HTMLHost

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

The HTMLHost object is used to handle changes to certain user interface elements in the HTML content, such as the window.document.title property.

To override default behaviors for the HTMLLoader, create a subclass of the HTMLHost class, override its member functions to handle various user interface changes in the HTML content, and set this property to an instance of your subclass.

The default value is null.



Implementation
    public function get htmlHost():flash.html:HTMLHost

    public function get htmlLoaderFactory():IFactory
    public function set htmlLoaderFactory(value:IFactory):void
AIR-only 

htmlText

property 
htmlText:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

Specifies an HTML-formatted String for display by the control.

Setting this property has the side effect of setting the location property to null, and vice versa.

Content added via the htmlText property is put in the application security sandbox. If an AIR application includes an HTML control located in the application sandbox, and remote HTML code is directly added into the control by setting the htmlText property, any script contained in the HTML text is executed in the application sandbox.

The default value is "".

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



Implementation
    public function get htmlText():String
    public function set htmlText(value:String):void

property 
listData:BaseListData

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

When a component is used as a drop-in item renderer or drop-in item editor, Flex initializes the listData property of the component with the appropriate data from the List control. The component can then use the listData property to initialize the data property of the drop-in item renderer or drop-in item editor.

You do not set this property in MXML or ActionScript; Flex sets it when the component is used as a drop-in item renderer or drop-in item editor.

The default value is null.

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



Implementation
    public function get listData():BaseListData
    public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void

AIR-only 

pdfCapability

property 
pdfCapability:int  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

The type of PDF support on the user's system, defined as an integer code value.

An HTML object can display PDF content only if this property evaluates to PDFCapability.STATUS_OK. The PDFCapability class defines constants for possible values of the pdfCapability property, as follows:

PDFCapability constantMeaning
STATUS_OKA sufficient version (8.1 or later) of Acrobat Reader is detected and PDF content can be loaded in an HTML object.

Note: On Windows, if a Acrobat Acrobat or Acrobat Reader version 7.x or above is currently running on the user's system, that version is used even if a later version that supports loading PDF loaded in an HTML object is installed. In this case, if the the value of the pdfCampability property is PDFCapability.STATUS_OK, when an AIR application attempts to load PDF content into an HTML object, the older version of Acrobat or Reader displays an alert, without an error message displayed the AIR runtime. If this is a possible situation for your end users, you may consider providing them with instructions to close Acrobat while running your application. You may consider displaying these instructions if the PDF content does not load within an acceptable timeframe.

ERROR_INSTALLED_READER_NOT_FOUNDNo version of Acrobat Reader is detected. An HTML object cannot display PDF content.
ERROR_INSTALLED_READER_TOO_OLDAcrobat Reader has been detected, but the version is too old. An HTML object cannot display PDF content.
ERROR_PREFERED_READER_TOO_OLDA sufficient version (8.1 or later) of Acrobat Reader is detected, but the the version of Acrobat Reader that is setup to handle PDF content is older than Reader 8.1. An HTML object cannot display PDF content.

runtimeApplicationDomain

property 
runtimeApplicationDomain:ApplicationDomain

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

The ApplicationDomain to use for HTML's window.runtime scripting.

If this property is null, or if it specifies an ApplicationDomain from a different security domain than the HTML content, the HTML page uses a default ApplicationDomain for the page's domain.

The default value is null.



Implementation
    public function get runtimeApplicationDomain():ApplicationDomain
    public function set runtimeApplicationDomain(value:ApplicationDomain):void
AIR-only 

userAgent

property 
userAgent:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

The user agent string to be used in content requests from this control.

You can set the default user agent string used by all HTML controls in an application domain by setting the static URLRequestDefaults.userAgent property. If no value is set for the userAgent property (or if the value is set to null), the user agent string is set to the value of URLRequestDefaults.userAgent.

If neither the userAgent property of this control nor for URLRequestDefaults.userAgent, has a value set, a default value is used as the user agent string. This default value varies depending on the runtime operating system (such as Mac OS or Windows), the runtime language, and the runtime version, as in the following two examples:

      "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/1.0"
      "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/1.0"

complete

Event
Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.COMPLETE

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

Dispatched after the last loading operation caused by setting the location or htmlText property has completed.

This event is always dispatched asynchronously, after the JavaScript load event has been dispatched in the HTML DOM.

An event handler for this event may call any method or access any property of this control or its internal htmlLoader.

The Event.COMPLETE constant defines the value of the type property of a complete event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
targetThe network object that has completed loading.

htmlDOMInitialize

Event  
Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

Dispatched after the HTML DOM has been initialized in response to a loading operation caused by setting the location or htmlText property.

When this event is dispatched, no JavaScript methods have yet executed. The domWindowand domWindow.document objects exist, but other DOM objects may not. You can use this event to set properties onto the domWindow and domWindow.document objects for JavaScript methods to later access.

A handler for this event should not set any properties or call any methods which start another loading operation or which affect the URL for the current loading operation; doing so causes either an ActionScript or a JavaScript exception.

The Event.HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE constant defines the value of the type property of an htmlDOMInitialize event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
