I believe in the Flex 4.1 SDK they've added support for this type of feature to the layouts. I'm going to look into adding it. I had planned on adding that in.

If you update the description it should update in the renderer. You can set the notification duration to Infinity and it won't be removed. You can remove it manually using the NotificationManager.removeNotification(); The Notification object is bindable. If you update the description it should update in the renderer.

One question: Can I somehow make the NotificationManager reuse a notification? I have a login sequence where I'd like to use the notifications to let a user know what's going on behind the scenes, but I don't want new notifications to be displayed every time. Instead I'd like to just change the text of an existing notification, e.g.: 1. User clicks login, a notification is displayed that has the description "Logging in" 2. The server responds with an all ok before the timeout of the notification, so the description changes to "User logged in" in the notification that is already showing, instead of creating a new notification. Possible? Hey just wanted to say I like what you’ve done so far with your notification framework, hope you continue development.

Possible?

It is that version I'm using. When you say it may not behave like I'd expect do you mean maybe that I wouldn't be able to position the notifications at a corner of the screen? If you know of any AIR based notification system similar to yours, I'd love to hear about them. I'm looking around but many of them seem to be web based :( Thanks.. Hi, thanks for the reply!

You can download it here: http://www.blog.tylerchesley.org/examples/Bark-Flex-beta-2.fxpl Let me know if you are still having problems after you try the latest version. Bark was mainly meant for web applications. You could use it in an air application but it might not do what you expect it to. It won't work like Growl because it doesn't natively integrate with the OS. Hi Steve,

It could be that I'm an idiot as I've only been using Flex for a week or so. I'm basically getting an error (pasted at the bottom) while trying to add a notification. Is this framework suitable for a desktop app run in AIR? Sorry to bug you & for a potentially silly question, but I'd love to use it... anywho..
