Chapter 9. The Windowing API
Windows have been a part of traditional desktop applications for many years. If you have ever opened a Help window or a preferences window of a desktop application, you have experienced a multi-window application. AIR has given us the ability to create windows as part of AIR desktop applications as well. Each window is a full-fledged system window and can act independently of the additional windows; it can even persist after the main application window has been closed. If you are operating a computer running Microsoft Windows, you will see each window appear in the taskbar as you would with any other desktop application.
