Flex Examples

The following example shows how you can access the close button in a Flex TitleWindow container by using the closeButton property in the mx_internal namespace.

Full code after the jump.

Since this example uses the mx_internal namespace, you can’t always depend on this behavior to work in future versions of the Flex SDK. Use at your own risk.
