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.

You can also set the showStatusBar property using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:

If you want to disable the statusbar from an other container as the mx:WIndowedApplication you have to add an import statement for the Application:
Like so:
import mx.core.Application;
Thanks for sharing!
