Issue with Event.EXITING in AIR 2.5
I am facing an issue with the Exiting event in AIR when creating my application using Flash builder. The exiting event does not function on windows shutdown... howevere if I click the 'X' button to exit the app it works perfectly fine....is there a bug in the exiting event...
