Opening a new Window in Adobe AIR

The following example shows how you can launch a new Flex Window container in Adobe AIR by creating a custom Window component and calling the open() method.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://airexamples.com/2010/03/12/opening-a-new-window-in-adobe-air/ -->
<mx:WindowedApplication name="Window_open_test"
        xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white">
 
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.core.Window;
 
            protected function btn_clickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
                new MyWin().open();
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
 
    <mx:Button id="btn"
            label="Open Window"
            click="btn_clickHandler(event);" />
 
</mx:WindowedApplication>

And the custom Window component, MyWin.mxml, is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://airexamples.com/2010/03/12/opening-a-new-window-in-adobe-air/ -->
<mx:Window name="MyWin"
        xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="absolute"
        width="300" height="200">
 
    <mx:Label id="lbl"
            text="I'm a Window!"
            fontSize="32"
            horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" />
 
</mx:Window>

      @feresr,

      Did you copy the second block of code and save it as MyWin.mxml in the same directory as the first code block?

    Hi again, I’m sorry but i still have some problems with this code… and i think it’s because of my windows’ code.. it doesn’t look like yours.

    This is what i mean:
    Your code:

    My code:

    As you can see, the only difference is that little ‘s:’ at the begining of my code. I can’t change it because my whole windows has components.

    Flex created these tags. And i don’t know why…

    This is the Error i’m getting now: ‘Call to an undefined method open’.

    I hope you know the aswer :) and i’m apologize for my english. I’ts not my native language.

    Ow! and by the way.. could you tell me what’s the name of the font you have in the header of the web site (‘A bunch of Adobe Air…’).

    Thank you! And congratulations for the website.
