It's important to note that even though Core Graphics is GPU accelerated and the blurring and effects are completely native, abusing the Transparency with a lot of heavy animations and stuff will definitely affect the performance.
In this release I really didn't have time to enable full screen mode support even though there are native extensions out there that might do it. If people want it, I can definitely include that in and probably expand a bit more on some additions like native alert dialogs maybe inside your AIR app?
I'm waiting for Yosemite to see what type of integration I can expand but for now, your app will hopefully now look cooler than it ever did before with AIR :. If you find bugs, have issues, or suggestions feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or Google Plus.
Skip to content. Or you can use the skinnable, extensible chrome provided by the Flex framework to establish your own style no matter where your application is run. You can even draw your own window chrome with vector and bitmap artwork with full support for transparency and alpha blending against the desktop. Tired of rectangular windows? Draw a round one. Consider extending the NativeWindow class to specialize the windows used in your application.
Calls to JavaScript Window methods are forwarded to the underlying native window object. The WindowedApplication component replaces the Application component when you create an AIR application with Flex and must always be used as the initial window in your Flex application. When you create windows with the NativeWindow class, use the Flash Player stage and display list directly.
To add a visual object to a NativeWindow, add the object to the display list of the window stage or to another display object container on the stage. You can use this property to access the NativeWindow properties, methods, and events described here. The Flex Framework defines its own window components. The first window of your application is automatically created for you by AIR. AIR sets the properties and content of the window using the parameters specified in the initialWindow element of the application descriptor file.
Native windows dispatch events to notify interested components that an important change is about to occur or has already occurred. Many window-related events are dispatched in pairs. The first event warns that a change is about to happen. The second event announces that the change has been made.
You can cancel a warning event, but not a notification event. The following sequence illustrates the flow of events that occurs when a user clicks the maximize button of a window:. The NativeWindow object dispatches a displayStateChanging event. The NativeWindow object dispatches a displayStateChange event. In addition, the NativeWindow object also dispatches events for related changes to the window size and position. The window does not dispatch warning events for these related changes.
The related events are:. A move event is dispatched if the top, left corner of the window moved because of the maximize operation. A resize event is dispatched if the window size changed because of the maximize operation. A NativeWindow object dispatches a similar sequence of events when minimizing, restoring, closing, moving, and resizing a window.
The warning events are only dispatched when a change is initiated through window chrome or other operating-system controlled mechanism. When you call a window method to change the window size, position, or display state, the window only dispatches an event to announce the change. If you're creating a settings panel, you'd likely use the utility or lightweight options. If you were creating a more substantial secondary window like a document edit screen, you may prefer having that window displayed on the taskbar.
The next step is to define the dimensions of the window by creating a new Rectangle. The first two parameters set the X and Y coordinates from the top-left corner of the screen, while the second two parameters define the width and height respectively:. With the options defined, a new window is created and a new URLRequest object specifies the path to our local file that accompanies the application:.
URLRequest "newwindow. We could stop right here but there's a minor difference between how window. Therefore, we'll create a new property, aptly named opener , and set it to the current window:.
Now, in our newly opened window, we can access the opener window just as if we'd used window. When creating multiple windows, memory management can become an issue. Think of each new window as equivalent to opening a new tab in your browser.
One of the other benefits of creating separate native windows is the ability to use Flash-based effects on the HTMLLoader controls. Although some animation is possible via CSS and JavaScript, being able to reshape the entire HTML canvas through the use of the pixel bender features of Flash 10 can offer some powerful effects.
