Description

For PersistenceManager to work, developers must register class aliases for ViewDescriptor and NavigationStack. Since these are private Classes, there is no easy way for a developer to do this in a spark application. PersistenceManager should do this automatically internally before load or save since its required for it to work with any ViewNavigator.

Workaround (if any):
Developer has to write code like this, but automatic imports won't work in Builder since classes are private.

import spark.components.supportClasses.ViewDescriptor;
import spark.components.supportClasses.NavigationStack;

protected function initializeHandler():void

{ // Register the class aliases that will be saved registerClassAlias("ViewDescriptor", ViewDescriptor); registerClassAlias("NavigationStack", NavigationStack); }
