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

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.
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]
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]...
On 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]...

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).

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.

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.

View 3 RepliesAre there any programs or features in flash that can simplify flash vector art?
I just realized that one of the reasons why my program might be running so slow is that I made the images out of lots and lots of circles. When things didn't look right I often just put larger circles over smaller ones. I didn't think that flash might still be drawing the invisible circles underneath-

We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox.anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?

View 2 RepliesWe are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.

View 2 RepliesIs the Flash Video (or Flex VideoDisplay) component capable of seeking to an exact moment in a video?It seems to always 'snap' to keyframes (which is understandable). I'm just wondering if there are any mechanisms in the video classes for seeking to exact frames, ie it should do the translation from keyframe to specific frame in the background rather than having to actually play the video forward to the desired frame.This is not a streaming file and has nothing to do with buffering. The player is just downloading a movie file from the web and playing it from memory.
