Window Creation Question/Issue

Chris,

Thanks for the response.  I managed to work around the problem by creating the window content (Sprite/MovieClip) ahead of time, but creating the sub-windows as needed.  In the process, I figured out that when multiple windows are open, closing the main window doesn't necessarily trigger the Exiting event.  Closing the last open window does.  So I've now setup my application to respond to both the Exiting event and the main window's closing event to do my cleanup and exit.

I'm thinking that the condition described above somehow falls into the same category.  I haven't tested it yet, but I think that the act of creating the sub-windows (even though they are never activated) are counted as "open" and therefore the Exiting event isn't triggered.

I'll post a follow-up once I've tested that theory.

This code shows the issue.  After creating the subwindow, but not activating it, the exit handler will not be called...

package 
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.NativeWindow;
import flash.display.NativeWindowInitOptions;
import flash.display.NativeWindowType;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

public class ExitTest extends MovieClip
{
  private var _subWindow:NativeWindow;
  public function ExitTest()
  {
   createSubWindow();
   NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING, exitHandler);
  }
 
  public function createSubWindow():void
  {
   var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
   initOptions.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
  
   _subWindow = new NativeWindow(initOptions);
   _subWindow.height = 400;
   _subWindow.width = 320;

   _subWindow.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
   _subWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
  }
 
  public function exitHandler(e:Event):void
  {
   trace("Exiting");
  }
}
}
