SWFBridgeRequest

Package | mx.events
Class | public class SWFBridgeRequest
Inheritance | SWFBridgeRequest flash.events.Event
Subclasses | EventListenerRequest

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

An event that is sent between applications through the sharedEvents dispatcher that exists between two application SWFs. The event describes a request for the listener in the other SWF to perform some action on objects in its SWF and potentially return some data back to the dispatching SWF. Unlike typical events, SWFBridgeRequests are an exception to the event model because properties of the event are modified in order to return data back to the dispatching SWF.
