Creating windows
Adobe AIR 1.0 and later
AIR automatically creates the first window for an application, but you can create any additional windows you need.
To create a native window, use the NativeWindow constructor method.
To create an HTML window, either use the HTMLLoader createRootWindow() method or, from an HTML
document, call the JavaScript window.open() method. The window created is a NativeWindow object whose display
list contains an HTMLLoader object. The HTMLLoader object interprets and displays the HTML and JavaScript
content for the window. You can access the properties of the underlying NativeWindow object from JavaScript using
the window.nativeWindow property. (This property is only accessible to code running in the AIR application
sandbox.)
