Using the HippoHX APIs and Classes

[Vadersapien]

Just want to know how to use the HippoHX APIs and Classes to make a close button, fullscreen button and execute a program with arguments. I'm pretty new to as3 (started using it last week) and have absolutely no idea how it works. If you don't know what HippoHX is, you can find out at the official website.

I'm asking here because i don't understand their API documentation.

Are you new to programming in general or just AS3?

Taking a quick look at it:

Window class: Can't close (most likely due to flash limitations), Window.maximize() may maximized your window. Not sure if this means fullscreen or just maximize to the size of your desktop like any other application does.

File class: openFile method will open a file and pass arguments according to the documentation. openFile(file path, args);

Hopefully that helps a little. If you are just beginning with AS3 I recommend going over all the basics before diving into something like this.

i've had a bit of experience with as2 before, and have tried a little java and c++. from what i could tell, you can close an app via quitApplication() (part of the application class). what i really need is a .zip containing an fla and any required .as files so i can pick up the basics and go on from there.
