Running two separate virtual machines in different browser windows could
do it in some cases.
Let's say a video preview monitor that only needs some parameters
(sessionid, videoid etc.) to seem like belonging to the same application.
But try to implement a smooth drag and drop functionality between the
two virtual machines by routing the information through the server.
I think that's where the hackiness of the solution would become evident.
I just don't understand what the security issue of opening windows is,
especially when you can do it with javascript in a browser.
Another issue is the strange restriction that all text input is disabled
in fullscreen mode.
What is the purpose of that?
It makes the fullscreen mode useless in the context of an application.
And the displaylist bug hasn't moved forward in Adobe's jira.
I quess I am growing weary of the battle...

As a proof of concept that this is possible: If your application is connected
to a back-end server, you could design your application as 2 applications that
communicate through the back end. Clearly the two applications could be
launched in separate browser windows that could be displayed on separate
monitors.
Obviously you would like something a little less contrived. You could write a
custom wrapper page that opens two browser windows with the two halves of your
application.
Presumably what you would really want is a way for your application to open a
new browser window with some of it's views in it. Here, I think you will run
into browser security as in general one browser window is not permitted to talk
to another.

Hi,
This is just an enquiry.
I would need my app to work in multiple monitors.
And I suppose that this is not possible in flash (only AIR supports
NativeWindow class).
Do you think that this is a state of affairs that will never change because of
some obscure security reasons?
If it is so then it is clear that it will probably never be part of OL either
because it can not be implemented in flash.
Do you think this could be implemented in browser-runtime? Opening new browser
window without decorations or something like that.
It seems the best way to make serious cross-platform applications that are
distributed by browser are still java applets ... still.
