Windowing with Apollo – full source code

Windowing in Apollo is a very simple task.
The Windowing sample will demonstrate this by allowing you to set the preferences
of the new window by setting NativeWindow and NativeWindowInitOptions properties,
and then manage the windows by tracking them within a custom Array.
Creating a new window is as simple as this:
1
var newWindow:NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(true,new NativeWindowInitOptions());
The function that created the new windows in the Windowing sample looks like this:

Well that the first Apollo app. I’ve tried so far. It work great for an alpha
I just had a windows alert and a memory read error at a moment but i couldn’t remake it.

Hi, nice app. You may reproduce error by trying to create transparent window. Windows XP/SP2

Hi, nice example, I don’t know if you have notice but the property nativeWindow.alwaysInFront doesn’t seems to do anything. Is this something that doesn’t work in the alpha version of apollo?

Yes, I believe that is an alpha bug.
