![]() | Starting with Flex 4.0, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.components.Application class as an alternative to this class. |
Flex defines a default, or Application, container that lets you start adding content to your application without explicitly defining another container. Flex creates this container from the
<mx:Application>
tag, the first tag in an MXML application file.
While you might find it convenient to use the Application container
as the only container in your application, in most cases you explicitly
define at least one more container before you add any controls
to your application.
Applications support a predefined plain style that sets a white background, left alignment, and removes all margins. To use this style, do the following:
<mx:Application styleName="plain" />
This is equivalent to setting the following style attributes:
backgroundColor="0xFFFFFF" horizontalAlign="left" paddingLeft="0" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0" paddingRight="0"MXML Syntax

The <mx:Application>
tag inherits all of the tag
attributes of its superclass and adds the following tag attributes:
<mx:Application Properties application="No default" controlBar="null" frameRate="24" historyManagementEnabled="true|false" layout="vertical|horizontal|absolute" pageTitle"No default" preloader="No default" resetHistory="false|true" scriptRecursionLimit="1000" scriptTimeLimit="60" usePreloader="true|false" viewSourceURL="" xmlns:No default="No default" Styles backgroundGradientAlphas="[ 1.0, 1.0 ]" backgroundGradientColors="undefined" horizontalAlign="center|left|right" horizontalGap="8" modalTransparency="0.5" modalTransparencyBlur="3" modalTransparencyColor="#DDDDDD" modalTransparencyDuration="100" paddingBottom="24" paddingTop="24" verticalAlign="top|bottom|middle" verticalGap="6" Events applicationComplete="No default" error="No default" />
