DEACTIVATE event fires on app load in OS X
When running AIR on OS X (tested with 13.0 on Mavericks), the DEACTIVATE event fires when the application first opens! But this doesn't happen on Windows.
So for example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
<script>
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I will see that trace statement as soon as I run the application... Which is a huge issue as I have logic that I run on DEACTIVATE that I DON'T want to run on app load and in doing so causes a loop of functions 3-4 times... Again this DOES NOT HAPPEN on OS X.
Is this a bug? Or am I missing something about the way OS X handles windows?
Currently to get around this... I am having to do:
if (air.Capabilities.os.indexOf("Mac OS") > -1) {
var firstRun = false;
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
if(firstRun) {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
} else {
firstRun = true;
}
});
} else {
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
});
}
