Hello, I’m developing an application that is to be used in a Kiosk environment (in a shop counter), so there must be no way the user can quit or go back out of the App.

I’ve tried

```auto
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

```

and

```auto
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

```

in the -app.xml

Nothing seems to work. I’ve found a few posts saying - [COLOR=#555555][FONT=monospace]showStatusBar=“false”[/FONT][/COLOR] (in the [COLOR=#555555][FONT=Arial]mx:WindowedApplication element) [/FONT][/COLOR]should do the job ([http://johannesluderschmidt.de/lang/en-us/remove-adobe-air-status-bar-in-flex-builder/538/](http://johannesluderschmidt.de/lang/en-us/remove-adobe-air-status-bar-in-flex-builder/538/). But this is in flex syntax which I have no idea how to code in. 😕

Other posts say it can’t be done at all. Which I find hard to believe, as this should be quite a basic requirement in Application development…Is the Flex [COLOR=#555555][FONT=monospace]showStatusBar=“false” the only way to get the job done?[/FONT][/COLOR]

Please can someone help me out!

Thanks!
