Asset  - AS3 Project Management

This property refers to an instance of the file object assigned to this asset. This can also act as a placeholder, to which a collateral is assigned later.

This property defines the unique identifier for the asset.

Defines the large-sized thumbnail for the content of an asset. Since the thumbnails are generated asynchronously, a thumbnail may not be available immediately after submitting an asset.

Defines the small-sized thumbnail for the content of an asset. Since the thumbnails are generated asynchronously, a thumbnail may not be available immediately after submitting an asset.

Defines the type of asset. Custom values can be used to differentiate between different types of assets. This can be any arbitrary value. No value has been specified for a default implementation.

Defines the version of an asset. It can be any string value. The default implementation uses major version to represent an increment in the version, minor version is always. e.g. 1.0, 2.0 etc.

This property refers to an instance of the asset value object.

This property refers to the workitem instance to which this asset is assigned.

The constructor of Asset class. It creates a project using asset value object and reference to workitem to which this asset is assigned.

Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener receives notification of an event. You can register event listeners on all nodes in the display list for a specific type of event, phase, and priority.

After you successfully register an event listener, you cannot change its priority through additional calls to addEventListener(). To change a listener's priority, you must first call removeEventListener(). Then you can register the listener again with the new priority level.

After the listener is registered, subsequent calls to addEventListener() with a different value for either type or useCapture result in the creation of a separate listener registration. For example, if you first register a listener with useCapture set to true, it listens only during the capture phase. If you call addEventListener() again using the same listener object, but with useCapture set to false, you have two separate listeners: one that listens during the capture phase, and another that listens during the target and bubbling phases.

You cannot register an event listener for only the target phase or the bubbling phase. Those phases are coupled during registration because bubbling applies only to the ancestors of the target node.

When you no longer need an event listener, remove it by calling EventDispatcher.removeEventListener(); otherwise, memory problems might result. Objects with registered event listeners are not automatically removed from memory because the garbage collector does not remove objects that still have references.

Copying an EventDispatcher instance does not copy the event listeners attached to it. (If your newly created node needs an event listener, you must attach the listener after creating the node.) However, if you move an EventDispatcher instance, the event listeners attached to it move along with it.

If the event listener is being registered on a node while an event is also being processed on this node, the event listener is not triggered during the current phase but may be triggered during a later phase in the event flow, such as the bubbling phase.

If an event listener is removed from a node while an event is being processed on the node, it is still triggered by the current actions. After it is removed, the event listener is never invoked again (unless it is registered again for future processing).

Parameters

Dispatches an event into the event flow. The event target is the EventDispatcher object upon which dispatchEvent() is called.

Parameters

Checks whether the EventDispatcher object has any listeners registered for a specific type of event. This allows you to determine where an EventDispatcher object has altered handling of an event type in the event flow hierarchy. To determine whether a specific event type will actually trigger an event listener, use IEventDispatcher.willTrigger().

The difference between hasEventListener() and willTrigger() is that hasEventListener() examines only the object to which it belongs, whereas willTrigger() examines the entire event flow for the event specified by the type parameter.

Parameters

Removes a listener from the EventDispatcher object. If there is no matching listener registered with the EventDispatcher object, a call to this method has no effect.

Parameters

Checks whether an event listener is registered with this EventDispatcher object or any of its ancestors for the specified event type. This method returns true if an event listener is triggered during any phase of the event flow when an event of the specified type is dispatched to this EventDispatcher object or any of its descendants.

The difference between hasEventListener() and willTrigger() is that hasEventListener() examines only the object to which it belongs, whereas willTrigger() examines the entire event flow for the event specified by the type parameter.
