Adobe Air - window.nativeWindow undefined

Question

I have an Adobe Air Application opening a Window from menu tray. The html content have a javascript code doing alert(window.nativeWindow) on load.

• It works fine with an embeded html static file
• It do not works with a JSP called file

I have correctly included AIRAliases.js. Is there restriction about nativeWindow ?

My goal is to:

• Open a JSP file with a Form
• Submitting the Form to itself
• If ok, hiding the nativeWindow

But it seems nativeWindow is undefined. And window.close() did nothing

Answer 1

Well in fact it is a SandBox security restrcition.

• An HTML code from an other domain can't execute AIR script (eg closing window)
• All turn around are disable (eval(), onclick=, ...)

The only way to do so is to:

• Put an IFrame with bridge parameters
• Put an XML file granting more security right to Adobe application

There is a full explanation in the security chapter of AdobeAIR API
