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,

Are you using the latest version? You can download it here:

Let me know if you are still having problems after you try the latest version.

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.. Cheers There's a load more to this but here's the first few lines: Error: Skin for NotificationRenderer72 cannot be found. at spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/attachSkin()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\supportClasses\SkinnableComponent.as:632] at spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/validateSkinChange()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\supportClasses\SkinnableComponent.as:405] at spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/createChildren()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\supportClasses\SkinnableComponent.as:368] Hey Tyler,

It appears you have to have the Flex 4 SDK set as your default SDK in Flash Builder. Once you do this, the import of the fxpl file works fine. My mistake.
