Flex Air, static main window reference?

Question

As I can get a reference to the main window of an Air Flex application within a component? (The component is not in the main MXML)

Answer 1

This should do it:

var topLevelApplication : Application = Application.application as WindowedApplication

In Flex 4, you should use the topLevelApplication property of the FlexGlobals class, something like this:

var topLevelApplication : Application = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as WindowedApplication

Answer 2

Try FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as WindowedApplication for flex4. Should do 'er.
