We’re working on an AS3 project that will be published as a Flash Projector, run on Windows (i.e. a .exe file).

We’d like to have a minimize button in the app that will “minimize”, as when one clicks on the minimize button in a normal Windows window

Is it possible to do this without a 3rd party solution?

I assume there’s no built in AS3 command – but possible with fscommand() and a BAT and/or EXE file? If EXE, can someone post the code? (I’m not a Windows programmer, but should be able to manage some Visual Basic or some such).

Thanks very much!
