Question

How do I add these native iOS blue menu boxes to my apps?

I would like to have these menus for various things in my apps, those that look like this:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Art/local_notification.jpg

Although this example image I took from Google shows it on the home screen, I want to use them in my apps, not outside. I don't really know what they are called and all my attempts to find code for this on Google has failed. I have extensions which makes these pop-up, like Milkman Game's Push Notification extension, but there's no code for using these in an app manually, only way to make them pop-up is if Urban Airship sends out a push notification message to the phone.

So, anyone know what the code would be to use these? Maybe an extension for just this sort of thing is needed as they are not included in Adobe Air. Only way I can think of is just faking it by just showing a vector/bitmap of this menu, but I don't want to do it that way.

These are called Local notifications. They are not directly supported in AIR but you can use native extensions if you want to use them. Some popular native extensions for Local Notifications are jaunkpro, jampot,distriqt.

I am much fond of this one: http://extensionsforair.com/extensions/nativealert/, think it's the most complete implementation, it even has support for iOS, android and windows
