flex study notes (2)

(1)There are two types of novisual components:data componet and utility components.

Data components are used to create data structure such as arrays and collections. Utility compnents are components used to achieve functionality .

(2)A event is a way that a component can notifty other parts of the application when some action occurs.

(3)Handle event  : one way is  to use actionscript to register listeners. The other way is we can add inline event handle attributes within a componet tag.

(4)Data binding  is a feature  you can use to  link a component to another component or an ActionScript.

 Data binding  automates changing  the value of one  object when  the value of another  object project  changes.

(5)ActionScript is a standards-based ,oject -oriented language.

(6)The majority of classes are organized into structures called package.

(7)A variable is a named element you can use to store data a reference  to data.

(8)DataType:String Number  int unit Boolean Data Array

(9)Variables are placed  within class methods ,Variables declared  outside of methods called properties.

(10)public  modifier means teh  property  is accessible outside the class.

       priviate modifier makes the  property accessible only with the clss

       protected modifier makes teh property accessible  within the class and its subclass

       internal modifier makes the  property accessible only within  the package.

       flex  assumes the  methods are internal  if you omit the modifier.

(11)ActionScript does not allow overloading .That means you cannot have two methods with the same name but different  parameter lists.
