Fastest way of closing AIR application
Friday, February 6th, 2009
Today on FlexLib mailinglist I’ve found quite nice and interesting question:
Dear Folks,
In my appliaction, The code: “application.close();” is used to exit
the application.
And I found, no. of ways are there to exit the application. Let me
know, which one is best , should allow the
grace full exit and should faster.No. of ways to Exit in Flex:
1. NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
2. Application.application.exit();
3. application.close();
4. exit();And please advise, any other option is there to exit the application.
Thanks in Advance

I use NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();, but that’s only really because I assume it’s the most direct way, I’ve never actually tested it against the others!

I like the following code because it gives the rest of the application the chance to postpone the shutdown to do any housekeeping it needs to:
var exitingEvent:Event = new Event(Event.EXITING, false, true);NativeApplication.nativeApplication.dispatchEvent(exitingEvent);
if (!exitingEvent.isDefaultPrevented()) {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
}
