I can get it to work if run from a button click event from my main.mxml. But if I dispatch and event from a sub.mxml, my main.mxml listens for that, then runs a function in main.mxml it will close the app, but not restart. The button click runs the exact same function, so I know the function code works. Any help? I’ve tried to get this going 10 thousand different ways, it won’t work.

After that, it will only close and not restart. I've tried everything under the sun to destroy the video/component before the restart to no avail. Any suggestions are very appreciated, thanks.

I had to change it slightly for flash and thought it maybe useful for some people. Heres what i did. the code is basicly the same, only dif is you wont have the "mx.core.WindowedApplication" libray to import. so instead do this: <code> var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller"); mgr.launch("-launch " + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationID + " " + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.publisherID); NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit(); </code> you will need to include: <code> import flash.desktop.NativeApplication; </code> in your imports. Then look were your airfiles are being created and you will see a file called ["name of your air file"]-app.xml . open this and as mentiond before make sure that false is set to true: <code> <allowBrowserInvocation>true</allowBrowserInvocation> </code> Insert Code here Insert Code here Hi man, cheers for the code it worked a treat for me.
