mx.core.Application, which
is the main, or top-level, window within an application.
Every application has a SystemManager. The SystemManager sends an event if the size of the application window changes (you cannot change it from within the application, but only through interaction with the operating system window or browser). It parents all displayable things within the application like the main mx.core.Application instance and all popups, tooltips, cursors, and so on. Any object parented by the SystemManager is considered to be a top-level window, even tooltips and cursors.
The SystemManager also switches focus between top-level windows if there are more than one IFocusManagerContainer displayed and users are interacting with components within the IFocusManagerContainers.
All keyboard and mouse activity that is not expressly trapped is seen by the SystemManager, making it a good place to monitor activity should you need to do so.
If an application is loaded into another application, a SystemManager
will still be created, but will not manage an application window,
depending on security and domain rules.
Instead, it will be the content of the Loader
that loaded it and simply serve as the parent of the sub-application
The SystemManager maintains multiple lists of children, one each for tooltips, cursors,
popup windows. This is how it ensures that popup windows "float" above the main
application windows and that tooltips "float" above that and cursors above that.
If you simply examine the numChildren property or
call the getChildAt() method on the SystemManager, you are accessing
the main application window and any other windows that aren't popped up. To get the list
of all windows, including popups, tooltips and cursors, use
the rawChildren property.
The SystemManager is the first display class created within an application.
It is responsible for creating an mx.preloaders.Preloader that displays and
mx.preloaders.DownloadProgressBar while the application finishes loading,
then creates the mx.core.Application instance.

| applicationComplete | Event |
mx.events.FlexEvent
mx.events.FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE
Dispatched when the application has finished initializing
TheFlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE constant defines the value of the

The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | false |
currentTarget | The Object that defines the
event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use
myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener,
myButton is the value of the currentTarget. |
target | The Object that dispatched the event;
it is not always the Object listening for the event.
Use the currentTarget property to always access the
Object listening for the event. |
