I have read all there is to read about windows/ native windows in air.
In addition to the main auto-added window, I am creating and (trying to) open two windows when the app starts. It works fine when I test it in flash CS4, but when i publish/install and run it, the windows added through code do not appear.[code]...
I need to keep a NativeWindow I am creating on top of the main window of the application. Currently I am using alwaysInFront = true, which is not limited to the windows in the application. I can successfully synchronize the minimize/restore/move/resize actions, so the top window behaves appropriately in those cases. Even though using this option has the drawback that if I alt-tab to other application the window goes on top of the other application.
Because of the above I am trying to get it to work without using the alwaysInFront. I have tried using orderInFrontOf and orderToFront, which gets it in place but when I click an area in the main window the top one becomes hidden i.e. air makes it the top one. I have tried capturing activate/deactivate events but it only happens on the first click, so on the second click the top window becomes hidden again. I also tried making the top window active when the main one becomes active, but that causes the main one to loose focus and I can't click on anything. I am doing this to improve the behavior of a HTMLOverlay I am using - see [URL]
In my AIR application, when a user creates a new project I want a pop-up box to appear where they can enter their project's name in. I understand how this is doable by making my own type of pop-up box, but is there a way to do this using NativeWindows? That is, can I make a window using the system chrome appear which contains a text field and a butto
View 1 RepliesOn my air application I'd like to create chromless nativewindow but I don't find how to do that.Indeed, I success with window but with this component type each window appear on Wndows taskbar, so I must found how to do the same (skin, maximise, reduce, move...) with another component.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble with the positioning of objects within the NativeWindow. So my code below creates a NativeWindow, and then draws a rectangle and adds it to the stage of the NativeWindow. I can't seem to have the rectangle centered in the window. I've tryed playing with the stage scale mode, and align properties. By default the align should be center, but it doesn't appear to be the case. The rectangle seems to be drawn from somewhere between the center and top left of the window. I've also drawn a rectangle onto the main app window using identical code.
Code:
import flash.display.NativeWindowInitOptions;
import flash.display.NativeWindow;
var NWIO = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
[code]....
Left window is the main app, and the right window is the NativeWindow.
I'm trying to make a popup window class which will get a content DisaplyObject, and popup and display it in itself, but I'm cracking my head with matching the size of the content to the window or vise versa... I think that maybe the window is not display all of the stage or something ?[code]...
View 1 RepliesWhen working with NativeWindow's in AIR, can you get an event everytime the window is minimized / unminimized? I tried hooking up with DisplayStateChanged but its not firing when the window is minimized. you know how to get such an event?

I have an Air windowedapplication with no chrome (but a custom) and main app windows is transparent.I try to attach a nativeMenu on nativeWindow (or nativeApplication on Mac Os). But as there is no system chrome NativeMenu don't work on windows Os but work well on Mac Os.As I'd like to have similar look and feel on both Os.
View 1 RepliesThe customer I am working for wants to display popup in an AIR application (designed in Flex 4).I will therefore use TitleWindow and PopupManager for this (or NativeWindow could be an option too).
Pretty basic, I can handle this.
Trouble is, this customer would like this popup to be looking as a Fancybox, that is, with the close button, slightly out of the popup.
I have a rectangle with an event listener like so:
rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
private function startMove(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.nativeWindow.startMove();
}
this works fine.
I also have a button inside this rectangle, and when I click the button the window drags just like if I had clicked on the rectangle.
How can I stop this from happening? I tried removing the event but that didn't work, I don't even know which event to remove, the mouseDown or NativeDrag event... There is no stopDrag() function in nativeWindow.
I'm getting crazy because I can't access object NativeWindow in a "ActionScript Mobile Project", no matter what I do stage.nativeWindow is always null when I test on desktop. If I create a new NativeWindow then it's the stage property that is null. Oddly enough accessing stage.NativeWindow works when deploying on blackberry playbook but not when debugging configuration Launch Method on desktop.
Can't answer my own question but it seems the feature is just unsupported on the desktop I guess the workaround is use Stage.Resize when debugging desktop. reference: The window represents the native operating system window; the Stage represents the content contained by the window. This property is only valid for content running in AIR on platforms that support the NativeWindow class. On other platforms, this property will be null. In Flash Player (content running in a browser), this property will also be null.

How do you find out the size of the system chrome so that I can specify the window size to achieve the stage size I want?
If my main window is set at 800 x 600 (stage), and I create a second window as below, it will be smaller.
public function Main():void
{
var windowOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
windowOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
[Code].....
I assume you increase both newWindow.width = 800; and newWindow.height = 600;to account for the chrome, but how do you find this value?
I have an AIR application with a system tray icon. When clicked it shows and activates the app. This is working as expected when the app is hidden (docked), however if I select another application so my app is in the background clicking on the system tray icon does nothing.
Oddly I also have a contextual menu on the system tray icon, which has an option to restore, this calls the same event handler as ScreenMouseEvent.CLICK, yet works.
I expect it's something to do with the contextual menu changing the focus, perhaps it's a bug in how AIR works with the system tray, perhaps it's just something I'm missing. Would be good to know if that's the case.
Can a Flax Air Window (NativeWindow) be modal? how?

the flash on the right hand side is not showing in IE6?
This is the very simple code for the page, I have stripped out the restof the code just to get to the bare minimum code to show the .swf. It works fine with firefox but nothing is shown in IE. The .swf name (front.swf) is lowercase.How can I show the swf in IE ?
Code:
<div id="contenttabs" style="padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px;">
<div style="padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px;" class="box">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="front.swf" width="523" height="450">
<param name="movie" value="front.swf" /></object>
</div>
The title & copyright text of my animation don't show up in the swf unless I break up the words to letters then to shapes. (This also occurs for the feedback of one of my games.) It's a 2.5 minute animation which puts my computer to the limits so that may be the problem. Obviously I'd rather not convert this text to shapes for size & flexibility reasons.

I have a couple of video clips loading to the stage via loadExternalMovieclip. The video clips were imported FLV's, given skin styles, and exported as SWF's. When I open the SWF's directly in FLash Player, all is well -- the controls appear and work fine. But when they are loaded into an empty, placeholder MovieClip, the skin does not appear![url]...
