| Inheritance | InvokeEvent  Event Object |
Only a single instance of a particular application can be launched. Subsequent attempts to
launch the application will result in a new invoke event on the running instance.
It is an application's responsibility to handle the event and take the appropriate
action, such as opening a new application window to display the data in a file.
InvokeEvent objects are dispatched by the NativeApplication object
(NativeApplication.nativeApplication). To receive InvokeEvent events,
call the addEventListener() method of the NativeApplication object.
When an event listener registers for an InvokeEvent event, it will also receive all InvokeEvent events
that occurred before the registration. These are dispatched after the call to addEventListener()
returns, but not necessarily before other InvokeEvent events that might be received after registration.
This lets you handle InvokeEvent events that have occurred before your initialization code
executes. Keep in mind that if you add an event listener later in execution (after application
initialization), it will still receive all InvokeEvent events that have occurred since the
application started.

| arguments | property |
Hide Inherited Public Properties
Show Inherited Propertiesarguments:Array [read-only] The array of string arguments passed during this invocation. If this is a command line invocation, the array will be the command line arguments excluding the process name.
Note: When multiple files are selected and opened on Mac OS X, AIR will
dispatch a single invoke event containing the names of all the
selected files in the arguments property. On Windows, however, AIR will
dispatch a separate invoke event for each selected file containing only that
filename as in the arguments array.
Note: The Mac OS X Finder automatically passes the process serial number as an argument with the form -psn_NNN (where NNN is the process serial number).
| currentDirectory | property |
currentDirectory:File [read-only]
The directory that should be used to resolve any relative paths in the arguments
array. If an application is started from the command line, this property is
typically set to the current working directory of the command line shell from which
the application was started. If an application is launched from the GUI shell,
this is typically the file system root.
| InvokeEvent | () | Constructor |
function InvokeEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, dir:File = null, argv:Array = null)
The constructor function for the InvokeEvent class.
Typically you would not call the InvokeEvent() constructor directly.
Only the AIR runtime should create a InvokeEvent object.
type:String — The type of the event, accessible as Event.type.
|
|
bubbles:Boolean (default = false)false for an InvokeEvent object.
|

cancelable:Boolean (default = false)false for an InvokeEvent object.

argv:Array (default = null) |

| INVOKE | Constant |
public static const INVOKE:String = "invoke"
The constant defines the value of the type
property of an InvokeEvent event object.
The InvokeEvent object has the following properties:
| Properties | Values |
|---|---|
arguments | the array of string arguments passed during this invocation. |
currentDirectory | a object representing the directory that should be used to resolve any relative paths in the arguments array. |
bubbles | No. |
cancelable | false;
There is no default behavior to cancel. |
