I will try that right now. Will be back weeping in a few minutes if it
doesn't work, of course.

Thanks!

  Hi:
 
  In my AIR project I need to pop a browser window and give it focus.
  The current code is:
 
  private function launchAFile():void{
  var theURL:String = resourceContentsList.selectedItem.path;
  navigateToURL(new URLRequest(theURL));
  }
 
  Is there a way to give that new window focus? At the moment, on some
  platforms, it pops up behind the application, and if the user has
  resized the app, it is easy to miss the new window.
 
  Thanks in advance! Alpha release on Monday!!

As it turns out, I already have that in use in a couple of places, and
it does not give focus to the new window in tabbed browser systems.
Seems to be okay if you don't already have a browser window open, or
if you do not use tabbed browser windows.

Any other thoughts?

Maybe minimize the application if it's still the front most  
application, possibly after showing an alert to say what you're up to?


Or maybe just throw up a dialog to say you've opened up a browser  
window, again maybe only if you're still front most?


Just some ideas.
