Multi-page applications

Subtopics:

• Accordion
• TabBar and LinkBar
• TabNavigator
• ViewStack

A Flex app is typically a single SWF embedded in a single HTML page, however, there are a number of classes and techniques you can use to manage logic formerly contained on multiple HTML pages. Note the following:

• To show different "pages" or "screens", use a ViewStack-style control.
• A ViewStack is similar to the common UI element Tab Panel
• Each ViewStack page is loaded at start, so if you're loading a lot of data, you'll need to implement Lazy loading.
• You can also implement page-like behavior with states, but state changes primarily involve moving, hiding, and showing elements on screen, similar to DOM manipulation via JavaScript.
