Description

Method; Shows or hides an icon in the Windows System Tray or on the right side of the Mac OS Menu Bar. This comand is generally used to add easy access to always-on utility applications running as background processes. You can add your application to the System Tray/Menu Bar using mApplication.setSystemTrayIcon() and mApplication.showInSystemTray(). mApplication.setSystemTrayIcon() sets a region in your swf from which the icon will be drawn. Animating this region will animate your system tray icon. The Alert User sample shows how to animate the system tray / menu bar icon.
