Classpublic class DelegateTask
InheritanceDelegateTask Inheritance Task Inheritance flash.events.EventDispatcher

A Task implementation that delegates the actual execution of the operation. This may be useful if you want to integrate existing classes that cannot be retrofitted to be subclasses of Task, but need to act as children of a TaskGroup.

Constructor Detail
DelegateTask()Constructor
public function DelegateTask(startFunction:Function, name:String = null, isRestartable:Boolean = true, timeout:uint = 0)

Creates a new instance. The properties cancelable, suspendable and finishable will initially be set to false until you set one of the corresponding delegate functions (like setCancelFunction).

Parameters
startFunction:Function — the function that gets executed when the Task is started
 
name:String (default = null) — an optioanal name for log output
 
isRestartable:Boolean (default = true) — whether this DelegateTask is restartable
 
timeout:uint (default = 0) — an optional timeout in milliseconds
Method Detail
markComplete()method
public function markComplete():Boolean

Signals that this Task has completed. If this method executes successfully the COMPLETE event will be fired.

Returns
Boolean — true if the Task successfully switched its internal state, false if otherwise
markError()method 
public function markError(message:String):Boolean

Signals an error condition and cancels the Task. If this method executes successfully the ERROR event will be fired.

Parameters

message:String — the error description

Returns
Boolean — true if the Task successfully switched its internal state, false if otherwise
setCancelFunction()method 
public function setCancelFunction(cancelFunction:Function):void

Instruct the DelegateTask to execute the specified Function when it gets cancelled. This method will automatically set the cancelable property to true.

Parameters

cancelFunction:Function — the Function to execute when this Task gets cancelled

setSkipFunction()method 
public function setSkipFunction(skipFunction:Function):void

Instruct the DelegateTask to execute the specified Function when its finish method gets executed. This method will automatically set the skippable property to true.

Parameters

skipFunction:Function — the Function to execute when the skip method of this Task gets executed

setSupendFunctions()method 
public function setSupendFunctions(suspendFunction:Function, resumeFunction:Function):void

Instruct the DelegateTask to execute the specified Functions when it gets suspended and resumed. This method will automatically set the suspendable property to true.

Parameters

suspendFunction:Function — the Function to execute when this Task is suspended
 
resumeFunction:Function — the Function to execute when this Task is resumed
