Anyway to hide the status/toolbar?

Hi Bobby,

Try setting the fullScreen property to true in your application descriptor.  You can find additional details on our Setting application properties page.

Sweet Thanks

You also might want to make sure you include these lines of ActionScript:

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

that doesnt work in a Flash Builder mobile project I have set up. am i missing something

?

I did what was suggest by all parties, scratching my head?

When you say "Flash Builder Mobile project", are you using Flash Builder 4, or did you mean ActionScript Mobile Project in Flash Builder 4.5?

If it's FB4.5, AS mobile project, there's an app descriptor file, it'll be called something like myproject-app.xml. If you look in there, set to Source view, you should find this line:

<!-- <fullScreen></fullScreen> -->

You would need to put 'true' in there, and uncomment the line, to give you:

<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

That should make the status bar hide.

Colin,

Many thanks for the info. Yes its FB 4.5. Was already aware of this and have tried this but it does not seem to work on the Motorola Xoom. I did manage to hide the title bar though, as I am developing my app using the ViewNavigatorApplication format, I used navigator.actionBar.visible = false. Wish it was this easy with the status bar.

Any other ideas?

I believe that with Honeycomb, and devices that don't have physical buttons, you can't hide the button bar at the bottom.
