AIR 1.5 Quick Tips: Getting the SystemTrayIcon.menu Reference

Posted by Bill Nunney on Nov 12, 2009 in AIR 1.5, Flash, Tutorials0 comments

Hey all,

have you been getting this crazy error message when trying to access the NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.menu on windows?:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property menu through a reference with static type flash.desktop:InteractiveIcon.

Everything in the livedocs leaves me to believe that a reference like that would work on windows machines, but it doesn’t.

I don’t know if there is a more ‘proper’ way to do this but heres my solution:

(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon as SystemTrayIcon).menu

Simply use that when needing to add a NativeMenu to the SystemTrayIcon.

Peace.
