Property Detail

changeList

property

changeList:Array

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0 Flash Player 9

An array of objects; each object contains properties that describe the changed members of a remote shared object. The properties of each object are code, name, and oldValue.

When you initially connect to a remote shared object that is persistent locally and/or on the server, all the properties of this object are set to empty strings.

Otherwise, Flash sets code to "clear", "success", "reject", "change", or "delete".

A value of "clear" means either that you have successfully connected to a remote shared object that is not persistent on the server or the client, or that all the properties of the object have been deleted--for example, when the client and server copies of the object are so far out of sync that Flash Player resynchronizes the client object with the server object. In the latter case, SyncEvent.SYNC is dispatched and the "code" value is set to "change".
A value of "success" means the client changed the shared object.
A value of "reject" means the client tried unsuccessfully to change the object; instead, another client changed the object.
A value of "change" means another client changed the object or the server resynchronized the object.
A value of "delete" means the attribute was deleted.

The name property contains the name of the property that has been changed.

The oldValue property contains the former value of the changed property. This parameter is null unless code has a value of "reject" or "change".

Implementation
public function get changeList():Array
public function set changeList(value:Array):void

Constructor Detail

SyncEvent

()

Constructor

public function SyncEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, changeList:Array = null)

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0 Flash Player 9

Creates an Event object that contains information about sync events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters

	`type:String` — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `type` property. There is only one type of sync event: `SyncEvent.SYNC`.

	`bubbles:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `bubbles` property.

	`cancelable:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `cancelable` property.

	`changeList:Array` (default = `null`) — An array of objects that describe the synchronization with the remote SharedObject. Event listeners can access this object through the `changeList` property.

Event — A new SyncEvent object with property values that match those of the original.

toString

()

method

override public function toString():String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Constant Detail

SYNC

Constant

public static const SYNC:String = "sync"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0 Flash Player 9

Defines the value of the type property of a sync event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`currentTarget`	The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
`changeList`	An array with properties that describe the array's status.
`target`	The SharedObject instance that has been updated by the server.
