INIT_COMPLETE

Constant

public static const INIT_COMPLETE:String = "initComplete"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when a Flex application finishes initialization. You use this event when creating a custom download progress bar.

This event is always dispatched once by the Preloader class, and is the last event that the Preloader dispatches. When this event is dispatched, the event listener should dispatch an Event.COMPLETE event.

A download progress bar must dispatch a complete event after it has received an init_complete event. The complete event informs the Preloader that the download progress bar has completed all operations and can be dismissed.

A download progress bar can perform additional tasks, such as playing an animation, after receiving an init_complete event, and before dispatching the complete event. Dispatching the complete event should be the last action of the download progress bar.

The FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a initComplete event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The 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`.
`target`	The 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.
