Quick Tip: Remove AIR Window Chrome Completely

When using mx.core.Window, you might notice that min/max/close buttons will still be displayed even you specify systemChrome to NONE. To remove chrome completely, you set systemChrome to NONE and set showFlexChrome to false.

To use your own chrome:

  1. Set systemChrome to NONE, transparency to true, showFlexChrome to false
  2. Add a Canvas to WindowedApplication and the Canvas will be displayed on the screen. For details, refer to p85 of Adobe AIR Programming Unleashed (SAMS, 2009).
