Classpublic class InvokeEvent
InheritanceInvokeEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The NativeApplication object of an AIR application dispatches an invoke event when the application is invoked.

The NativeApplication object always dispatches an invoke event when an application is launched, but the event may be dispatched at other times as well. For example, a running application dispatches an additional InvokeEvent when a user activates a file associated with the application.

Only a single instance of a particular application can be launched. Subsequent attempts to launch the application will result in a new invoke event dispatched by the NativeApplication object of the running instance. It is an application's responsibility to handle this event and take the appropriate action, such as opening a new application window to display the data in a file.

InvokeEvent objects are dispatched by the NativeApplication object (NativeApplication.nativeApplication). To receive invoke events, call the addEventListener() method of the NativeApplication object. When an event listener registers for an invoke event, it will also receive all invoke events that occurred before the registration. These earlier events are dispatched after the call to addEventListener() returns, but not necessarily before a new invoke event that might be might be dispatched after registration. Thus, you should not rely on dispatch order.

Property Detail
    

arguments

property
arguments:Array  [read-only]

Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The array of string arguments passed during this invocation. If this is a command line invocation, the array contains the command line arguments (excluding the process name).

On mobile platforms, this property contains the array of options with which the application was launched, not the command-line arguments. Additionally, on mobile platforms, when reason is InvokeEventReason.OPEN_URL, the contents of the arguments Array vary, as follows:

  • Another application or browser invokes the application with a custom URL (iOS and Android):
    argumentsiOSAndroid
    InvokeEvent.arguments.length32
    InvokeEvent.arguments[0]urlurl
    InvokeEvent.arguments[1]source app idaction id
    InvokeEvent.arguments[2]nullNA
  • The system invokes the application to open an associated file type (iOS and Android):
    argumentsiOSAndroid
    InvokeEvent.arguments.length32
    InvokeEvent.arguments[0]urlurl
    InvokeEvent.arguments[1]nullaction id
    InvokeEvent.arguments[2]nullNA
  • Another application invokes the application using the document interaction controller (iOS only):
    argumentsiOS
    InvokeEvent.arguments.length3
    InvokeEvent.arguments[0]url
    InvokeEvent.arguments[1]source app id
    InvokeEvent.arguments[2]annotation

Note: When multiple files are selected and opened on Mac® OS X, AIR dispatches a single invoke event containing the names of all the selected files in the arguments array. On Windows® and Linux, however, AIR dispatches a separate invoke event for each selected file containing only that filename in the arguments array.



Implementation
    public function get arguments():Array
    

currentDirectory

property 
currentDirectory:File  [read-only]

Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The directory that should be used to resolve any relative paths in the arguments array.

If an application is started from the command line, this property is typically set to the current working directory of the command line shell from which the application was started. If an application is launched from the GUI shell, this is typically the file system root.



Implementation
    public function get currentDirectory():File
    

reason

property 
reason:String  [read-only]

Runtime Versions: AIR 1.5.1

The reason for this InvokeEvent. This property indicates whether the application was launched manually by the user or automatically at login. Possible values are enumerated as constants in the InvokeEventReason class:
