Re: [flexcoders] AIR app as a controlled desktop
App switch (ALT+TAB on Windows, or APPLE+TAB on OSX) will get around that one. I don't believe it's possible in AIR. It _may_ be possible with one of the many available wrappers - e.g. Northcode's SWF Studio: http://www.northcode.com/swfstudio.php HTH, Ian On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 10:01 AM, Tom Chiverton wrote: > > > On Wednesday 22 Jul 2009, simonjpalmer wrote: >> clicks?

[flexcoders] AIR app as a controlled desktop
I have a requirement to prohibit users from accessing the desktop while using my app (it is for sitting exams). Is there a way to get an AIR app to maximise itself, or to control the entire desktop region, capturing all clicks? I want to be able to start my app, have it "take over" the user experience, a bit like PowerPoint in presentation mode, and only go back to the desktop when unlocked by an administrator. Any pointers?
