Opening email popups from Adobe AIR application - actionscript-3

I need to open several email popups (~30) from Adobe AIR Flex app, I am currently using navigateToURL but I observed that at times some email popups go missing. I have tried callLater as well. WHen I introduce delay between popups it works better but still has a risk of some popup missing. Can anyone advise please? These emails dont have any attachments but have html contents.

I am guessing that you don't want all 25-30 messages to appear at once. If you could try to schedule a better way like the one below, I think that will really help you fix the problem:-
Add references to all the 25-30 objects in an array
Now on click of a button, show the 1st email body. Have a button in the popup which reads something like 'Send and Read next email'. On click event, fire the email to be sent and pop the next object from your array to show contents of the next email.

Auto-filling web forms

I have to create video-tutorial as help. We have a document with help, but customer want video.
I have found chrome extensions for this purpose - Screencastify (https://www.screencastify.com) for recording chrome tab contenct. It is cool that this tool highlight user clicks.
The best trouble is filling forms. I can't find any tool, or chrome extension or something, whitch is able to fill fluently forms. When I am filling forms, i make some typing errors and typing is not fluent - video tutorial looks unprofesionall and chaotic.
I have tried UI Vision RPA (https://ui.vision/), but this tool does not simulate user click (yes with some extension, but before simulation user click screen becomes green for a while), but there are no highlighted clicked position.
Is there a tool that can simulate a smooth form fill according to a prepared script or a macro - basically something like an auto-run UI test, such as a keyboard shortcut that is able to simulate mouse clicks and fluently write defined form content?
There are lot of ways to do it. All below three allow record and play back.
1. VBA macros in excel,
2. Automated test tools and frameworks like Selenium
3. RPA tools like WinAutomation or automation anywhere etc.
Once you record, you can go to recorded script, correct any spelling mistakes, add any pauses needed, start your screen recorder and play back the script.

Adding a interactive gui to my VB.net application

OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used

How can I show a confirmation message (not a dialog) without an Alert?

I'm working on a project for a User Interface Design class, so the emphasis is on the UI being as nice to use and non-annoying as possible. I would like to display a message to the user after they've clicked save, for example, without requiring them to click an OK button. I'm thinking of the kind of thing you see in gmail if you send a message or do some other actions, where a message appears on the screen, but the message disappears after you do something else.
I'm sure there's a way to do this in Flex (I'm using 4.6), but I just don't know what it is. I'm pretty new to Flex and I'm having trouble finding anything via Google, because the results keep showing confirmations messages in Alerts; I don't know the search terms to get the results I'm looking for.
Anyway if anyone has ideas or links or anything, I'd really appreciate the help.
Here's a nice Toast library for flex (flex-toasterlib).
And here's a different Toast class in the adobe forums (adobe forums).

Creating a notification from within a notification

I'm creating an extension for Chrome, and one of the functionalities included is the ability for the end user to add people as contacts.
Currently, the contact is saved to the database via AJAX, after which a desktop notification is displayed telling the user that the deed has been done.
However, I would want to first ask the user if he's sure he wants to do that. So I got the mad idea of wanting to create a new notification from within a notification.
So first, the confirmation HTML notification would be created from the background.html, and displayed. It contains a button, and upon clicking it, it should run the AJAX function and create a second notification, containing the feedback.
However, I seem to be unable to do this. I can't run createNotification() from the notification, sendRequest() doesn't seem to go through neither, and I can't use the onClose listener from background.html, because I want to differentiate between clicking the "Yes" button and the "No" button.
Is there any way I can do this? And if not, how should the confirmation dialog be implemented instead?
Have you tried using chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage()? This may provide the access to your background page's API that you require. For example, your first notification page calls the following when Yes is clicked;
function yesClicked() {
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().showSecondNotification();
}
The background page declares the showSecondNotification method as follows;
function showSecondNotification() {
webkitNotifications.createHTMLNotification(
chrome.extension.getURL('notification2.html')
).show();
}
Hopefully, this will cause the second notification to be displayed. I've used a similar method in my extensions before but only to retrieve information from the background page. However, I see no reason this shouldn't work.

Error with IE and form data when clicking back

Say if I am on page 1 , I enter my form data and go to page 2 , But wait I forgot something and I need to go back. FireFox and Safari ask me if I want to resend my form data.
But IE being IE it just goes back and does not show the page.
Is there away around this when I click back it keeps the data and the page appears.
Sorry I cannot give a link but the process for u to go through on my site to get to this part would take you a while.
My suspicion is that your talking about a wizard form. Where each part of the form is a page and you can go backwards and forwards through the pages.
the back button has always caused problems for developers on the web and this is probably the most annoying.
You can stop the IE back button issue by redirecting on the server to the next page when you receive a form post rather than just delivering the form back to the browser. Doing this means that the browser considers each page to have been a get and stops asking you if you want to resubmit the form.
to do this simply make each form post to itself and then return a redirect to the next page of the wizard. I'd give examples but I'm not sure what language you are using on the server.
the other alternative is to use javascript to create a wizard from your form see this jQuery wizard form demo.
create a new back button besides the submit button and when a user clicks on either one you call a javascript function which modifies the form action either to the next page or the previous page.
