Normal windows use the full-size style of chrome and appear on the Windows taskbar and the Mac OS X window menu. A tool palette. Utility windows use a slimmer version of the system chrome and do not appear on the Windows taskbar and the Mac OS X window menu.

Lightweight windows have no chrome and do not appear on the Windows taskbar or the Mac OS X window menu. Lightweight windows are suitable for notification bubbles and controls such as combo-boxes that open a short-lived display area. When the lightweight type is used, systemChrome must be set to none. Window chrome is the set of controls that allow users to manipulate a window in the desktop environment. Chrome elements include the title bar, title bar buttons, border, and resize grippers.

You can set the systemChrome property to standard or none. Choose none to provide your own chrome for the window. Use the constants defined in the NativeWindowSystemChrome class to reference the system chrome settings in code. System chrome is managed by the system. Your application has no direct access to the controls themselves, but can react to the events dispatched when the controls are used. When you use standard chrome for a window, the transparent property must be set to false and the type property must be normal or utility.

When you create a window with no system chrome, then you must add your own chrome controls to handle the interactions between a user and the window. You are also free to make transparent, non-rectangular windows.

To allow alpha blending of a window with the desktop or other windows, set the window transparent property to true. The transparent property must be set before the window is created and cannot be changed. A transparent window has no default background. Any window area not containing an object drawn by the application is invisible.

If a displayed object has an alpha setting of less than one, then anything below the object shows through, including other display objects in the same window, other windows, and the desktop.

However, rendering large alpha-blended areas can be slow, so the effect should be used conservatively. Transparency cannot be used with windows that have system chrome.

The static NativeWindow. When transparency is not supported, the application is composited against a black background. In these cases, any transparent areas of the application display as an opaque black.

It is a good practice to provide a fallback in case this property tests false. For example, you could display a warning dialog to the user, or display a rectangular, non-transparent user interface. Note that transparency is always supported by the Mac and Windows operating systems. The version element can no longer be used. Each segment of the version number can have up to three digits. You can also specify a label for the version using the versionLabel element.

When you add a version label, it is displayed instead of the version number in such places as the AIR application installer dialogs. AIR uses the child elements of the initialWindow element control the initial appearance and behavior of this initial application window. Simply referencing the name in the application descriptor does not cause the file to be included in the package automatically.

You typically use these buffers when working with 3D content. In earlier versions of AIR, this setting is ignored on desktop platforms.

The renderMode setting cannot be changed at run time. StageVideo is only available when a window is in fullscreen mode. Stage3D uses the software renderer.

StageVideo is available. Stage3D uses hardware acceleration, if otherwise possible. On all other platforms the value is ignored. If the value is standard , each stage pixel renders as four pixels on the screen.

If the value is high , each stage pixel corresponds to a single physical pixel on the screen. The specified value is used for all application windows. The systemChrome setting of a window cannot be changed at run time. The window cannot use system chrome if transparency is turned on. Sets the availability of a dynamic property for loop operations. Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions. Public Constants.

Constant Detail. Do not use. Language Reference only. Cool I might give that a try also. But for learning experience, could you help me fix the approach I have chosen?

In short how to select which window to close and make visible. And what the correct code is to load in content using JavaScript. Then please give me a list with tasks that your application shall process or in other words when does what happen. I'm sorry but I can't get it from your code.

The XML file hides the initial window by setting visible to false. The JavaScript code should then create a new window and add the splash. Once the load has finished using jQuery load it should then hide the splash window and then make the main window visible.

Okies tried your code. What currently happens is that I see the splash window appear but the content doesn't appear UNTIL after the loaded function has run on true. And then the splash screen remains and doesn't close to show the initial window. It seems like the appLoaded loop I have causes the application to stall. Any ideas? NativeWindow — Paul Facklam.
