A "view stack"-like container that supports navigation between items with history. New items are pushed to the top of a stack, and popping the active item will navigate to the previous item.

This component is designed for use in native apps. For web browser apps, consider using RouterNavigator instead.

The following example creates a stack navigator, adds an item, and displays it as the root of the history:

var navigator = new StackNavigator();
navigator.addItem("mainMenu", new StackItem(MainMenuScreen));
this.addChild(navigator);

navigator.rootItemID = "mainMenu";

Variables

popSwipeActiveEdgeSize:Float

The size, measured in pixels, of the region where a pop swipe gesture may begin.

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

popSwipeEnabled:Bool

If true, a swipe left with touch may be used to pop the current view.

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

rootItemID:String

Sets the first item at the bottom of the history stack, known as the root item. When this item is shown, there will be no transition.

If the history stack currently contains items when you set this property, they will all be popped from the stack without a transition. In other words, setting this property will completely erase the current history.

In the following example, the root item ID is set:

navigator.rootItemID = "my-item-id";

Methods

addItem(item:StackItem):Void

Registers a new item. The id property of the item should be used to reference the same item in other method calls, like pushItem() or removeItem().

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

getItem(id:String):StackItem

Returns the StackItem that was registered by passing the specified identifier to addItem().

Available since

1.0.0

.

popAll(?transition:(DisplayObject, DisplayObject) ‑> IEffectContext):Void

Pops all items from the history stack, leaving the StackNavigator completely empty, with no active item.

An optional transition may be specified. If null, the value of the popTransition property will be used instead.

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

popItem(?returnedObject:Dynamic, ?transition:(DisplayObject, DisplayObject) ‑> IEffectContext):DisplayObject

Pops the current item from the top of the history stack, restoring the previous item from the history as the new active item. If the "root" item is visible, popping has no effect and the root item will remain visible. To remove all items from the history stack, including the root item, use popAll() instead.

An optional transition may be specified. If null, the value of the popTransition property will be used instead.

Returns a reference to the new view, unless a transition is already active when popItem() is called. In that case, the new item will be queued until the previous transition has completed, and popItem() will return null.

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

popToRootItem(?returnedObject:Dynamic, ?transition:(DisplayObject, DisplayObject) ‑> IEffectContext):DisplayObject

Pops all items from the history stack, except the root item. The root item will become the new active item.

An optional transition may be specified. If null, the value of the popTransition property will be used instead.

Returns a reference to the new view, unless a transition is already active when popToRootItem() is called. In that case, the new item will be queued until the previous transition has completed, and popToRootItem() will return null.

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

popToRootItemAndReplace(id:String, ?inject:Dynamic ‑> Void, ?transition:(DisplayObject, DisplayObject) ‑> IEffectContext):DisplayObject

Returns to the root of the history stack, but replaces the root item with a different item instead.

An optional transition may be specified. If null, the value of the popTransition property will be used instead.

Returns a reference to the new view, unless a transition is already active when popToRootItemAndReplace() is called. In that case, the new item will be queued until the previous transition has completed, and popToRootItemAndReplace() will return null.

Available since

See also:

pushItem(id:String, ?inject:Dynamic ‑> Void, ?transition:(DisplayObject, DisplayObject) ‑> IEffectContext):DisplayObject

Pushes an item onto the top of the history stack to become the new active item.

Note: Multiple instances of the same item are allowed to be added to the history stack, if desired.

An optional transition may be specified. If null, the value of the pushTransition property will be used instead.

Returns a reference to the new view, unless a transition is already active when pushItem() is called. In that case, the new item will be queued until the previous transition has completed, and pushItem() will return null.

replaceItem(id:String, ?inject:Dynamic ‑> Void, ?transition:(DisplayObject, DisplayObject) ‑> IEffectContext):DisplayObject

Replaces the current item on the top of the history stack with a new item, making the new item the active item. May be used in the case where you want to navigate from item A to item B and then to item C, but when popping item C, you want to skip item B and return to item A instead.

An optional transition may be specified. If null, the value of the replaceTransition property will be used instead.

@stylelayoutData:ILayoutData

See also:

read onlystyleContext:Class<IStyleObject>

The class used as the context for styling the component. If a subclass of a component should have different styles than its superclass, it should override the get_styleContext getter. However, if a subclass should continue using the same styles as its superclass, it happens automatically.

Available since

1.0.0

.

styleProvider:IStyleProvider

Typically used by the theme to provide styles to each component, but a custom style provider may be provided that will take precedence over the theme's style provider.

When a component initializes, its style provider sets properties that affect the component's visual appearance. If the style provider dispatches StyleProviderEvent.STYLES_CHANGE after the component has initialized, the original properties set by the style provider will be reset to their default values and before applying the new property values.

Setting the style provider or replacing an existing style provider before a component initializes will queue up the style changes until after initialization. Once a component initializes, the style provider may be changed, but the changes will be applied immediately. Similarly to when a style provider dispatcches StyleProviderEvent.STYLES_CHANGE, any properties that were set by the previous style provider will be reset to their default values before applying the new style provider.

If the themeEnabled property is false, the current theme's style provider will be ignored. However, if a custom style provider was provided from outside of the theme, it will still be used.

Defined by ValidatingSprite

isInvalid(?flag:InvalidationFlag):Bool

Indicates whether the control is pending validation or not. By default, returns true if any invalidation flag has been set. If you pass in a specific flag, returns true only if that flag has been set (others may be set too, but it checks the specific flag only. If all flags have been marked as invalid, always returns true.

The following example invalidates a component:

component.setInvalid();
trace(component.isInvalid()); // true
Available since

1.0.0

.

runWithoutInvalidation(callback:() ‑> Void):Void

Calls a function that temporarily disables invalidation. In other words, calls to setInvalid() will be ignored until the function returns.

Available since

1.0.0

.

setInvalid(?flag:InvalidationFlag):Void

Call this function to tell the UI control that a redraw is pending. The redraw will happen immediately before OpenFL renders the UI control to the screen. The validation system exists to ensure that multiple properties can be set together without redrawing multiple times in between each property change.

If you cannot wait until later for the validation to happen, you can call validate() to redraw immediately. As an example, you might want to validate immediately if you need to access the correct width or height values of the UI control, since these values are calculated during validation.

The following example invalidates a component:

component.setInvalid();
trace(component.isInvalid()); // true
Available since

1.0.0

.

private@:dox(show)setInvalidationFlag(flag:InvalidationFlag):Void

Sets an invalidation flag. This will not add the component to the validation queue. It only sets the flag. A subclass might use this function during draw() to manipulate the flags that its superclass sees.

Available since

1.0.0

.

See also:

private@:dox(show)update():Void

Override to customize layout and to adjust properties of children. Called when the component validates, if any flags have been marked to indicate that validation is pending.

The following example overrides updating after invalidation:

override private function update():Void {
	super.update();

}
