Question

I have a ViewNavigator that I want to hide the action bar. The creationComplete listener successfully removes the action bar, but as soon as another view is push, the action bar reappears. How can I keep it hidden?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
           xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
           creationComplete="application1_initializeHandler(event)">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.FlexEvent;

        protected function application1_initializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
        {
            viewNav.hideActionBar(false);
            addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pushView);
        }

        protected function pushView(event:MouseEvent):void
        {
            viewNav.pushView(FirstView);
        }
    ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:ViewNavigator id="viewNav" top="0" bottom="0" left="0" right="0" firstView="FirstView" />
</s:Application>

The View class has an actionBarVisible property. You can set this to false on each/all views, then it won’t show up. Maybe I missed it, but I don’t see a way to do it globally for the ViewNavigator itself, other than hideActionBar().

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View actionBarVisible="false" >
</s:View>
