  • 0

I am trying to provide my users with the option to have my application launch automatically and complete a task at a certain time every week.

I can make my application launch at log in using NativeApplication.nativeApplication.startAtLogin=true but I then want to detect if the time is the time they selected and if it isn’t then run the application in the background until the time does match or the user shuts down their computer.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? On Adobe’s webpage comparing Flex web apps and desktop apps it implied to me that applications could be run in the background but I’m struggling to find anything.

    You can close the initial native window without killing the process

    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.autoExit = false;
NativeWindow(this.stage.nativeWindow).close();

    OR

    You can close the initial native window and create a new window that acts as a desktop widget without appearing in the taskbar with either the UTILITY or LIGHTWEIGHT window type.
