...Ok, I think I see what you mean. NativeWindows are always rectangular - The OS doesn't allow anything other than this. So the dimentions of the NativeWindow will always be bigger than the size of the content if it isnt rectangular in appearance.
The work around for this is to not to set your drag on the containing NativeWindow, but put it on your next container inside that... Does that answer your question? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sidney de Koning Sent: 17 January 2008 10:01 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Windowing in AIR Hi Matthew, Thanks for the answers; like i said: The problem that i dont want is that when my app unfolds, my 'appllication canvas' is actully bigger that what the user sees. When you dragg the app i want the draggeble area to be confined to the size of the current state of my application). When your current state is smaller than your canvas, you still see the border. For instance when you look at the EmployeeDirectory app, on http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/samples/ and when it folds open the 'canvas' is also stretched, and when you drag it, the borrder is only confined to the current state of the app. Can you tell me how this can be realized?
