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.

i’m a flex newbie -thank you so much for your generous sharing of knowledge through example – it’s incredibly helpful and informative. i’ve struggled mightily to apply your custom title window, popup and modal manager example code as a foundation for a video player but i can’t seem to do it. can you perhaps point me toward an example of the best method for setting up variables to load FLV files in a modal title window popup? i hope it isn’t asking too much, thanks in advance (either way) and best wishes,
;-)

nice example
i was play around with windows-1256 encoding and I was how wonderful it works
thanks
I don’t know if that was the point of this example, but there is a variable in TitleWindow class to hide/show the close button: “showCloseButton”
lynxoid,
True, but that only toggles the button’s visibility. What if you wanted to show a disabled close button? Or modify it in some other way?
Not to imply the example is good or has an actual valid point.
