Property Detail

cacheHeuristic | property

`cacheHeuristic:Boolean` [write-only]

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Used by Flex to suggest bitmap caching for the object. If `cachePolicy` is `UIComponentCachePolicy.AUTO`, then `cacheHeuristic` is used to control the object's `cacheAsBitmap` property.

Implementation
`public function set cacheHeuristic(value:Boolean):void`

cachePolicy | property |

`cachePolicy:String` [read-only]

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the bitmap caching policy for this object. Possible values in MXML are `"on"`, `"off"` and `"auto"` (default).

Possible values in ActionScript are `UIComponentCachePolicy.ON`, `UIComponentCachePolicy.OFF` and `UIComponentCachePolicy.AUTO` (default).

- A value of `UIComponentCachePolicy.ON` means that the object is always cached as a bitmap.
- A value of `UIComponentCachePolicy.OFF` means that the object is never cached as a bitmap.
- A value of `UIComponentCachePolicy.AUTO` means that the framework uses heuristics to decide whether the object should be cached as a bitmap.

Implementation
`public function get cachePolicy():String`

descriptor | property |

`descriptor:UIComponentDescriptor`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Reference to the UIComponentDescriptor, if any, that was used by the `createComponentFromDescriptor()` method to create this UIComponent instance. If this UIComponent instance was not created from a descriptor, this property is null.

Implementation
`public function get descriptor():UIComponentDescriptor`
`public function set descriptor(value:UIComponentDescriptor):void`

id | property |

`id:String`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

ID of the component. This value becomes the instance name of the object and should not contain any white space or special characters. Each component throughout an application should have a unique id.

If your application is going to be tested by third party tools, give each component a meaningful id. Testing tools use ids to represent the control in their scripts and having a meaningful name can make scripts more readable. For example, set the value of a button to submit_button rather than b1 or button1.

Implementation
`public function get id():String`
`public function set id(value:String):void`
Method Detail

createReferenceOnParentDocument | () | method

`public function createReferenceOnParentDocument(parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Creates an `id` reference to this IUIComponent object on its parent document object. This function can create multidimensional references such as b[2][4] for objects inside one or more repeaters. If the indices are null, it creates a simple non-Array reference.

Parameters

| `parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject` — The parent of this IUIComponent object.

deleteReferenceOnParentDocument | () | method |

`public function deleteReferenceOnParentDocument(parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Deletes the `id` reference to this IUIComponent object on its parent document object. This function can delete from multidimensional references such as b[2][4] for objects inside one or more Repeaters. If the indices are null, it deletes the simple non-Array reference.

Parameters

| `parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject` — The parent of this IUIComponent object.

executeBindings | () | method |

`public function executeBindings(recurse:Boolean = false):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Executes all the bindings for which the UIComponent object is the destination.

Parameters

| `recurse:Boolean` (default = `false`)`` — Recursively execute bindings for children of this component.

registerEffects | () | method |

`public function registerEffects(effects:Array):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

For each effect event, register the EffectManager as one of the event listeners.

Parameters

| `effects:Array` — An Array of strings of effect names.
