The issue I am facing is with Comboboxes, DataGridEvent.COLUMN_STRETCH, tooltips all show up in the main application window rather than the popped up window. I am using mx:Windows and mx:WindowedApplication. Please let me know If you have any thought about it.

Doing this in MXML you can't use a constant, and have to use plain text: This will work: type="utility" This won't work type="{NativeWindowType.UTILITY}" It caught me for ages as I was getting the window appear in the task bar on Windows XP, even when I though I was using utility and lightweight. Hopefully this will help someone else! It’s worth noting, that in order to have a lightweight or utility window you need to pass this information through before the window is created.

Hopefully this will help someone else!

BTW what a nice name :) For the initial screen you could use just a sprite-movieclip to present something to the users. I guess a custom chrome app with an "initial" window could do the job and then after some time or if the user clicks on this you could kill that screen and present the normal init window of your app right? Let me know if you do it some other way. Its always nice to share stuff. Thats how and why I understand, respect and love the Flash community! :) Take care Hello Newton and thanks for the comment!
