In a previous post, “Displaying a status message on a WindowedApplication in Adobe AIR”, we saw how to set the status bar’s text by setting the status property on the WindowedApplication class.
The following example shows how you can toggle the status bar’s visibility by setting the showStatusBar property on the WindowedApplication in Adobe AIR.
Full code after the jump.
