Implements ISystemManager

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

The WindowedSystemManager class manages any non-Application windows in a Flex-based AIR application. This includes all windows that are instances of the Window component or a Window subclass, but not a WindowedApplication window. For those windows, the WindowedSystemManager serves the same role that a SystemManager serves for a WindowedApplication instance or an Application instance in a browser-based Flex application.

As this comparison suggests, the WindowedSystemManager class serves many roles. For instance, it is the root display object of a Window, and manages tooltips, cursors, popups, and other content for the Window.

AIR-only deployMouseShields

()method 
public function deployMouseShields(deploy:Boolean):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.1

Deploy or remove mouse shields. Mouse shields block mouse input to untrusted applications. The reason you would want to block mouse input is because when you are dragging over an untrusted application you would normally not receive any mouse move events. The Flash Player does not send events across trusted/untrusted boundries due to security concerns. By covering the untrusted application with a mouse shield (assuming you are its parent) you can get mouse move message and the drag operation will work as expected.

Parameters

deploy:Booleantrue to deploy the mouse shields, false to remove the mouse shields.
