Hello Sir,

Thank you for the post.

I tried what you have posted here but it can’t make it work. I’m trying to add a flex custom component as child, but it never appears. My custom component is based on mx:canvas. I’m using latest version of Flex 3 IDE and AIR.

Could you please post some sample code?

Thanks

Walt: even easier is newWindow.alwaysInFront

Getting back to scrollers, do you know why an htmlControl as my ‘testcomponent’ doesn’t show scrollbars in a nativeWindow?

Walt: while hunting for scroll policies on an htmlControl inside a native window I found newWindow.stage.window.orderToFront(). Don’t know what it does, but may be what you’re looking for.

Danny,

Any idea why PieCharts don’t display when opened in this manner?

I think this is somewhat related — I was wondering if it’s possible to set the topmost property on apollo NativeWindows so that you can create a window which is always on top of all other desktop windows.

Thanks for this :) I wondered what the heck was going on when I tried to do some NativeWindow stuff after ApolloCamp.

[...] Update: I was thankfully wrong about cross window applications, even in the alpha. Adding Flex components requires a pretty straightforward workaround. Daniel Dura’s approach. Todd Anderson’s approach. Ask (a stupid question) and ye shall receive (an answer from the internets)! [...]

Hey Daniel.

Another work around may be to use an AS component extending UIComponent (or subclass) that listens for an Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE event and calls UIComponent:createChildren
-
public function TestComponent()
{
super();
addEventListener( Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init );
}

private function init( evt:Event ):void
{
createChildren();
}

protected override function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
// create elements…
}

This will lose the inherent layout capability that’s within MXML component, but won’t have to go through the add/remove process. I’m curious if that is considered bad practice, or will fault somewhere i am not aware of…
