Hmm, I am not sure you can do this. I know you can make the window invisible upon close and it won’t appear in the TaskBar or dock, but not sure you can make it totally invisible. Though I do remember reading some article about this same topic and someone came up with a workaround.

This code was a quick easy fix to something I was looking at doing, but I was just curious to whether or not you have any knowledge on hiding a NativeWindowType.NORMAL from the TaskBar/Dock. Like a browser does with a normal Alert (which isn’t a utility but a normal window that doesn’t resize, maxamize, or minamize).

This exact code did not work for me with Flex Builder 3. I had to change the line which reads

1	this.nativeWindow.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, handleAppInvoke);

into this line

1	NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, handleAppInvoke);

Thanks for the code, though!

Cheers, Ben
