Adobe AIR custom chrome L-shape

Question

I am wanting to create an Adobe AIR application that is L-shaped so that another application can fit in the open area of the screen. In other words, I would like an AIR app to surround another application on 2 sides (left and bottom). Is this possible? And if I do this will the AIR app cover the other application with a transparency?

Answer 1

The empty space will allow another application to reside there without having a layer over it

Answer 2

To have a transparent background: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/creating%5Ftransparent%5Fwindow.html

Adapt you descriptor file, then make 2 canvas elements with a backgroundColor and backgroundAlpha (which form you L-shape).

If the Air App covers the other application with a transparent layer: try building the Air App first and then the application that has to reside "in" it.
