Refresh/Reload Flex App using JavaScript code.

When you search to accomplish a task in Flex and can’t do it, then look for it in JavaScript because many of things that are not possible in Flex are possible using JavaScript which is the backbone of your Flex App.

I had a requirement were i wanted to refresh/reload the Flex App ,but i couldn’t do it in Flex and finally i realized that it may be possible using JavaScript then i went for it and coded, “WOW” i said to my self because it worked ,my App got reloaded/refreshed.

Then decided to post it in Blog, because it may help out other Flex lovers.

Code Example:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” layout=”absolute”>
<mx:Button x=”83″ y=”196″ label=”Button” click=”reloadpage(event)”/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function reloadpage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var ref:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:location.reload(true)");
navigateToURL(ref, "_self");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

Here on click of Button the App is reloaded/refreshed.Isn’t cool.
