Package	mx.managers
Class	public class WindowedSystemManager

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

The WindowedSystemManager class manages any non-Application windows in a Flex-based AIR application. This includes all windows that are instances of the Window component or a Window subclass, but not a WindowedApplication window. For those windows, the WindowedSystemManager serves the same role that a SystemManager serves for a WindowedApplication instance or an Application instance in a browser-based Flex application.

As this comparison suggests, the WindowedSystemManager class serves many roles. For instance, it is the root display object of a Window, and manages tooltips, cursors, popups, and other content for the Window.

Constructor

public function WindowedSystemManager(rootObj:IUIComponent)

Parameters

rootObj:IUIComponent

Method Detail

callInContext

()

method

public function callInContext(fn:Function, thisArg:Object, argArray:Array, returns:Boolean = true):*

This method should not be called on WindowedSystemManager. It is here as part of the contract for IFlexModuleFactory.

Parameters

	`fn:Function`

	`thisArg:Object`

	`argArray:Array`

	`returns:Boolean` (default = `true`)

Returns

create

()

method

public function create(... params):Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

This method is overridden in the autogenerated subclass.

Parameters

... params

Returns

Object

deployMouseShields

()

method

public function deployMouseShields(deploy:Boolean):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

Deploy or remove mouse shields. Mouse shields block mouse input to untrusted applications. The reason you would want to block mouse input is because when you are dragging over an untrusted application you would normally not receive any mouse move events. The Flash Player does not send events across trusted/untrusted boundries due to security concerns. By covering the untrusted application with a mouse shield (assuming you are its parent) you can get mouse move message and the drag operation will work as expected.

Parameters

deploy:Boolean — true to deploy the mouse shields, false to remove the mouse shields.

getDefinitionByName

()

method

public function getDefinitionByName(name:String):Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

Converts the given String to a Class or package-level Function. Calls the appropriate ApplicationDomain.getDefinition() method based on whether you are loaded into another application or not.

Parameters

name:String — Name of class, for example "mx.video.VideoManager".

Returns

Object — The Class represented by the name, or null.

getFocus

()

method

public function getFocus():InteractiveObject

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0
