browserInvoke event when the
application is invoked as the result of a SWF file in the browser using the browser
invocation feature. The NativeApplication object also dispatches a browserInvoke event when
a user instantiates the seamless installation feature in the browser and the SWF file in
the browser passes an array to the arguments parameter of the
launchApplication() method of the air.swf file. (For details, see
"Distributing, installing and running AIR applications" in the AIR developer's guide.)
Browser invocation is permitted only if an application specifies the following in the application descriptor file:
<allowBrowserInvocation>true</allowBrowserInvocation>
If the application is not running, the NativeApplication object dispatches both an InvokeEvent
event and a browserInvoke event when launched from the browser. Otherwise,
if the application is already running, the NativeApplication object dispatches only
a browserInvoke event when launched from the browser.
If the application is launched as the result of a seamless installation from the browser (with
the user choosing to launch upon installation), the NativeApplication object dispatches a BrowserInvoke
event only if arguments were passed (via the SWF file in the browser passing an array to
the arguments parameter of the installApplication()
method of the air.swf file). For details, see "Distributing, installing, and running AIR
applications" in the AIR developer's guide.
Like the invokeEvent events, browserInvokeEvent events are dispatched by the
NativeApplication object (NativeApplication.nativeApplication). To receive browserInvoke
events, call the addEventListener() method of the NativeApplication object. When an event listener
registers for a browserInvoke event, it will also receive all browserInvoke events that
occurred before the registration. These are dispatched after the call to addEventListener()
returns, but not necessarily before other browserInvoke events that might be received after registration.
This allows you to handle browserInvoke events that have occurred before your initialization code
is executed (such as when the application was initially invoked from the browser). Keep in mind that if you
add an event listener later in execution (after application initialization), it still receives all
browserInvoke events that have occurred since the application started.

The constructor function for the BrowserInvokeEvent class.
Generally, developers do not call the BrowserInvokeEvent() constructor directly.
Only the runtime should create a BrowserInvokeEvent object.

The BrowserInvokeEvent.BROWSER_INVOKE constant defines the value of the type
property of a BrowserInvokeEvent object.
The BrowserInvokeEvent object has the following properties:
| Properties | Values |
|---|---|
arguments | The array of string arguments passed during this invocation. |
sandBoxType | A string representing the
the sandbox type for the content in the browser (either
Security.APPLICATION, Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED, Security.LOCAL_WITH_FILE,
Security.LOCAL_LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK, or Security.REMOTE). |
securityDomain | A string representing the
the security domain for the content in the browser (such as "www.example.com"). |
isHTTPS | Whether the browser content uses the
HTTPS URL scheme (true) or not (false) |
isUserEvent | Whether the browser invocation resulted
from a user event (always true in AIR 1.0). |
bubbles | No. |
cancelable | false;
There is no default behavior to cancel. |
currentTarget | Indicates the object that is actively processing this InvokeEvent object with an event listener. |
target | Always the NativeApplication object. |
