Property Detail

activeScreen

property

activeScreen:DisplayObject [read-only]

A reference to the currently active screen.

Implementation
public function get activeScreen():DisplayObject

activeScreenID

property

activeScreenID:String [read-only]

The string identifier for the currently active screen.

Implementation
public function get activeScreenID():String

autoSizeMode

property

autoSizeMode:String

Determines how the screen navigator will set its own size when its dimensions (width and height) aren't set explicitly.

In the following example, the screen navigator will be sized to match its content:

navigator.autoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.CONTENT;

The default value is feathers.controls.AutoSizeMode.STAGE.

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

clipContent

property

clipContent:Boolean

In the following example, clipping is enabled:

navigator.clipContent = true;

The default value is false.

Implementation
public function get clipContent():Boolean
public function set clipContent(value:Boolean):void

isTransitionActive

property

isTransitionActive:Boolean [read-only]

Constructor Detail

BaseScreenNavigator

()

Constructor

public function BaseScreenNavigator()

Constructor.

Method Detail

autoSizeIfNeeded

()

method

protected function autoSizeIfNeeded():Boolean

If the component's dimensions have not been set explicitly, it will measure its content and determine an ideal size for itself. If the explicitWidth or explicitHeight member variables are set, those value will be used without additional measurement. If one is set, but not the other, the dimension with the explicit value will not be measured, but the other non-explicit dimension will still need measurement.

Calls saveMeasurements() to set up the actualWidth and actualHeight member variables used for layout.

Meant for internal use, and subclasses may override this function with a custom implementation.

Returns

Boolean

defaultTransition

()

method

 protected static function defaultTransition(oldScreen:DisplayObject, newScreen:DisplayObject, completeCallback:Function):void

The default transition function.

Parameters

	`oldScreen:DisplayObject`

	`newScreen:DisplayObject`

	`completeCallback:Function`

getScreenIDs

()

method

public function getScreenIDs(result:Vector.<String> = null):Vector.<String>

Returns a list of the screen identifiers that have been added.

Parameters

result:Vector.<String> (default = null)

Returns

Vector.<String>

hasScreen

()

method

public function hasScreen(id:String):Boolean

Determines if the specified screen identifier has been added with addScreen().

Parameters

id:String

Returns

Boolean

removeAllScreens

()

method

public function removeAllScreens():void

Removes all screens that were added with addScreen().

addScreen()

Event Detail

change

Event

Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = starling.events.Event.CHANGE

Dispatched when the active screen changes.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	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`.
`data`	null
`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.

activeScreen
activeScreenID

clear

Event

Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.CLEAR

Dispatched when the current screen is removed and there is no active screen.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	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`.
`data`	null
`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.

The FeathersEventType.CLEAR event type is a generic event type for when something is "cleared".

transitionComplete

Event

Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.TRANSITION_COMPLETE

Dispatched when the transition between screens has completed.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	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`.
`data`	null
`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.

The FeathersEventType.TRANSITION_COMPLETE event type is used by the ScreenNavigator to indicate when a transition between screens ends.

transitionStart

Event

Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.TRANSITION_START

Dispatched when the transition between screens begins.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	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`.
`data`	null
`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.
