setting full extent in "straight" API application

in the sample viewer there's a fullextent property that you can set to constrain the map's full extent. Can you do this same thing in a "straight" API application? If so, would someone mind sharing the syntax?

When you load your page set a fullExtent variable:

private var fullExtent:Extent = new Extent(x,y,xx,yy,map.spatialReference);

Then create a function to use that when you want thje full extent shown.

Mine looks like this:

private function mapfullExtent():void
{
try{
if (fullExtent !=null)
{
map.extent = fullExtent;
}else{
navToolbar.zoomToFullExtent();
}

}catch(err:Error){
}
}

Take a look at Mansour Raad's blog on constraining the extent
