CHAPTER 17
DeltaItem class (Flash
Professional only)
ActionScript Class Name mx.data.components.datasetclasses.DeltaItem
The DeltaItem class provides information about an individual operation performed on a
transfer object. It indicates whether a change was made directly to a property of the transfer
object or whether the change was made by a method call. It also provides the original state of
properties on a transfer object. For example, if the source of the delta packet was a data set,
the DeltaItem object contains information about any field that was edited.
In addition to the above, a DeltaItem object can contain server response information such as
current value and a message.
Use the DeltaItem class when accessing the changes in a delta packet. To access these changes,
use
DeltaPacket.getIterator(), which returns an iterator of deltas. Each delta contains
zero or more DeltaItem instances, which you can access through
Delta.getItemByName() or
Delta.getChangeList().
