Creating a window is very simple with Apollo. This is a very basic example of how to create a new window that contains a custom component. Simply create a new Apollo project within FlexBuilder and paste the following as the main file. Create a component named MyComponent.mxml and paste the code at the bottom of this post.
Main ApolloApplication file:
- <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
- <mx:ApolloApplication xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” layout=”absolute” width=”200″ height=”100″>
- <mx:Script>
- <![CDATA[
- private var newWindow:NativeWindow;
- private var component:MyComponent;
- public function createWindow():void {
- newWindow = new NativeWindow( true, new NativeWindowInitOptions() );
- component = new MyComponent();
- hiddenCanvas.addChild( component );
- hiddenCanvas.removeChild( component );
- newWindow.stage.addChild( component );
- }
- ]]>
- </mx:Script>
- <mx:Button label=”Create A Window” click=”createWindow()” x=”38″ y=”25″/>
- <mx:Canvas id=”hiddenCanvas” visible=”false” />
- </mx:ApolloApplication>
MyComponent.mxml
- <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
- <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” width=”350″ height=”100″>
- <mx:Label fontSize=”30″ text=”Hello World !” width=”100%” y=”22″/>
- </mx:Canvas>

Why you write this:
hiddenCanvas.addChild( component );
hiddenCanvas.removeChild( component );
so i tryed to create a new native window with content, but onle the natvieWindow appears not the content….

In the alpha, this is necessary to initialize the component before it is added to the window.

But it doesn’t work with other extendet Components like the Panel-Control, so i exchange the canvas with a Panel-Control and i see nothing….
