How do I put a Flex Air App on a separate desktop window?

Question

I want to have 2 windows, one on the main desktop and another on a separate desktop window. I can't find this in the documentation. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can create a new NativeWindow to add a new window in your Adobe AIR Desktop Application. A single NativeWindow is already created as part of your WindowedApplication

Answer 2

Actually what i was after was the Screens array as described here

Answer 3

Yep it's possible use the Window class http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/core/Window.html

all Windows are stored in NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows

so you can do stuff like this

for (var i:int =
   NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows.length - 1; i > 0;
   --i)             { NativeWindow(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows[i]).close();
   }
