Application without Taskbar icon

Question

Hi there,
I'm building an AIR app in Flex, but I don't want to have a
TaskBar icon:
i.e. I want to use the System Tray to look like the only
point of navigation....
I've tried to follow the instructions from
here,
but I still get a TaskBar icon:
in my App xml, transparent is True.
The Main class is of type "WindowedApplication"
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:v="views.*"
layout="absolute"
showFlexChrome="false" creationComplete="initApp()" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import views.SummaryWindow;
private var summWin:SummaryWindow;
private function initApp():void{
summWin = new SummaryWindow();
summWin.open();
The Summary Window is lightweight..
<mx:Window xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:v="views.*" layout="absolute" creationComplete="initApp()"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"
showFlexChrome="false" systemChrome="none" type="lightweight"
transparent="true" width="650" height="142">
Should I be doing something else to avoid a Windows Taskbar
icon??

Answer 1

It is probably your main window that is showing on the
taskbar, not the summary window. If this window is transparent with
no chrome, then you cannot see it, but it is still considered a
visible, active window by the operating system.
To stop the main Flex window from becoming active, add
visible="false" to the WindowedApplication tag.
