Congrats to Dan Thomas for being the first contestant to send in the correct answer to the question in my previous post. Dan has scored a free copy of Flex Solutions by Marco Casario. There were a lot of great answers almost all of them were correct however Dan was the first to send in the correct answer. Here is the repeated question in case you have not seen it.

AIR provides an easy-to-use, cross-platform window API for creating native operating system windows using Flash, Flex, and HTML programming techniques. What are three classes used to create and work with windows in AIR?

Here is the answer that Dan sent in:

flash.display.NativeWindow
NativeWindowSystemChrome
NativeWindowResize

All of these classes belong to the flash.display package and can be used for working with windows in AIR applications. Thanks for sending in your answer Dan, I hope you enjoy the book.

For future reference the ActionScript 3.0 windowing API contains the following classes for AIR.

flash.display
* NativeWindow
* NativeWindowInitOptions
(Window string constants are defined in the following classes:)
* NativeWindowDisplayState
* NativeWindowResize
* NativeWindowSystemChrome
* NativeWindowType

flash.events
* NativeWindowBoundsEvent
* NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent
* NativeWindowErrorEvent

More information can be found in the online help under AIR window basics.

Moving along to the final book giveaway… I guess this is more of an AS3 book than a Flex book, but anyway…. Be the first to email in the correct answer to the following question and you will win a free copy of ActionScript 3.0 Animation by Keith Peters. This is a great book that covers the essential topics needed for understanding programmatic animation in ActionScript 3.0.

What are three types of mouse event properties of the MouseEvent class?
