But when i resize the browser window and then minimize again the window minimizes to the correct position. i was wondering if you can help me out here, thanks. (Something that I noticed that if I take away my tool-bars its the exact amount of space to the minimized window, don't know if that will help).

I got it working with my forms just fine. Now I'm running into the slow resize/redraw issue previously mentioned by another user. If I open two windows (populated with my controls) it gets slow. Even switching focus between the two windows lags for a couple seconds. Each window contains several flex components (multiple tabs with datagrids, accordion lists, etc.). I'm willing to pay/donate to get some additional support on this. Thanks, Chris Ben,

If defining in MXML you just put the child tags inside it and if using AS you can use things like addChild(), removeChild(), etc. Ben Hi Chris,

Question: can someone point me to an example of how to populated one of the MDI windows with existing forms that I have in my application? I have several modal pop-up forms that I used to collect or display data in and I'd like to display some of them in different MDI windows. Thanks! This is great…thanks!

Therefore, removing components will never trigger garbage collection. As far as I know FlexMDI takes all necessary steps to ensure garbage collection can clean up as appropriate and does not contain any memory leaks. Thanks, Ben Hi Leonardo,

When you add one or multiple windows on the canvas and then remove them, the memory does not reduce. What should be done for this to be corrected, taking into account that this will be used many times in a day's work. Identified a problem in the management of memory.

When testing the resizing issue, please use a flex module as the child of the the MDIWindow. Thats what am using and it seems that when the MDIWindow resizes, the flex module doesn't resize as expected. Thanks again. Hi Ben,
