Property Detail
    

afterDisplayState

property
afterDisplayState:String  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The display state of the NativeWindow after the change.

If the event is displayStateChanging, the display state has not yet changed; afterDisplayState indicates the new display state if the event is not canceled. If the event is displayStateChanged, afterDisplayState indicates the current value.



Implementation
    public function get afterDisplayState():String
    

beforeDisplayState

property 
beforeDisplayState:String  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The display state of the NativeWindow before the change.

If the event is displayStateChanging, the display state has not yet changed; beforeDisplayState reflects the Window's current display state. If the event is displayStateChanged, beforeDisplayState indicates the previous value.



Implementation
    public function get beforeDisplayState():String
