backgroundColor with showFlexChrome=”false”
I came across a scenario that I wanted an AIR app to have a background color set while systemChrome="true" but showFlexChrome="false". Here is another post describing the problem. I tried to figure out what was going on and how the green-greyish background shows up (or white background in Flex 4) but couldn't figure out where that is created. But I did notice that when showFlexChrome="false" that the backgroundAlpha style was set to 0. So the workaround for the problem is to set the backgroundAlpha back to 1 after the application has created it self (on creationComplete event).

layout="vertical"

backgroundColor="0x0000FF"

creationComplete="setBG()"
-
showFlexChrome="false"

this.setStyle("backgroundAlpha", 1);

Is there an easy way to do this? So the easier way of setting a background color withe showFlexChrome="false" is to set the background color of the SWF.
