Re: [Flashcoders] AIR drag and resize transparent window and change mouse icon to arrows

You would need to detect the mouse position and then you would swap the mouse with a graphic (hide mouse pointer, display your arrows). The problem would be that you could only do this while inside the air app. The edges of the actual air app I believe would have to be set by the OS. B. On Fri, M

[Flashcoders] AIR drag and resize transparent window and change mouse icon to arrows

You know on a PC when you mouseOver the sides of a window, the mouse changes to an arrow that means you can resize the window. Is there any to get the mouse to change like that when the AIR window in set to transparent? Or it is only a feature of the NativeWindow on PC?

I think you might be able to get around this by using a swc, which can be checked for classes by the complier without actually including it in the swf. Do you have Moock's Essential Actionscript 3.0? Chapter 31 details the various ways you can do it, all based on which authoring tool you're using.
