APPLICATION_ACTIVATE

Constant

public static const APPLICATION_ACTIVATE:String = "applicationActivate"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

The AIREvent.APPLICATION_ACTIVATE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for an applicationActivate 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`.
`file`	The File object associated with this event.
`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.
`type`	AIREvent.APPLICATION_ACTIVATE

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`.
