| Required: false Part Type: Static An optional skin part that defines the Group where the content children get pushed into and laid out. | SkinnableContainer | ||
| Required: false Part Type: Static The skin part that defines the appearance of the control bar area of the container.

viewMenu:IFactory | Required: false Part Type: Static Dynamic skin part that defines the ViewMenu used to display the view menu when the menu button is pressed. The default skin uses a factory that generates an ViewMenu instance. | ViewNavigatorApplicationBase | ||
To skin the component, implement a skin that defines the following states. Although you must implement all skin states, a skin state can be empty. An empty skin state specifies no changes to the default skin state.
| persistenceManager | property |
persistenceManager:IPersistenceManager [read-only] | Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions : | AIR 2.5 |
The PersistenceManager object for the application.
The persistence manager is automatically created on demand
when accessed for the first time.
Override the createPersistenceManager()
method to change the type of persistence manager that is created.
The persistence manager automatically saves and restores
the current view navigator's view stack if the
persistNavigatorState flag is set to true.
Data stored in the persistence manager is automatically flushed to disk
when the application is suspended or exited.
The default implementation of the persistence manager uses
a shared object as it's backing data store.
All information that is saved to this object must adhere to flash
AMF rules for object encoding.
This means that custom classes must be registered through the use
of flash.net.registerClassAlias
The default value is an instance of spark.core.managers.PersistenceManager.
public function get persistenceManager():IPersistenceManagerSee also
| persistNavigatorState | property |
persistNavigatorState:Boolean| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions : | AIR 2.5 |
Toggles the application session caching feature for the application. When enabled, the application automatically saves the current view navigator's view stack and navigation history to the persistence manager. When the application is relaunched, this data is automatically read from the persistence store and applied to the application's navigator.
When enabled, the application version will be added to the persistence object.
You can access this information by using the persistence manager's
getProperty() method and ask for the versionNumber key.
When the persistence object is being created, the application dispatches
a cancelable FlexEvent.NAVIGATOR_STATE_SAVING event when the process
begins.
If you cancel the NAVIGATOR_STATE_SAVING event,
the persistence object is not created.
Similarly, when this information is being restored to the application, a cancelable
FlexEvent.NAVIGATOR_STATE_LOADING event is dispatched.
Canceling the NAVIGATOR_STATE_LOADING event prevents the navigation
data from being restored.
The persistNavigatorState flag must be set to true before
the application initializes itself for the navigator's state to be automatically
restored.
The default value is false.
