Do you know about NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon,bitmaps in flex ( action script3 ) ?

Question

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.bitmaps = bitmapData();

I wrote coding in my project for sysTrayIcon display but got error like

NativeApplication.nativeApplicationSeverity and Description 
Path Resource   
Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:BitmapData to an unrelated type Array.   toy/src toy.mxml .icon.bitmaps = bitmapData();

What mistake did I make, or could you tell me the meaning of this error?

Answer 1

I think you need a typecast in there such as:

SystemTrayIcon(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon).bitmaps

The SystemTrayIcon is a Windows-specific class I believe.

Answer 2

Icon.bitmaps is an Array of BitmapData, with one BitmapData instance for each size. You must reassign the entire array:

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.bitmaps = new Array(bitmapData);

Alternatively, as the livedocs mention, you can specify all the bitmap sizes:

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.bitmaps = 
    new Array(icon16x16.bitmapData, icon128x128.bitmapData);
