Description

Steps to reproduce:
1.Add an Event Listener to nativeapplication to listen Event.Exiting and cancel that event. --> NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING,function onExiting(exitingEvent:Event):void {
exitingEvent.preventDefault();
while(true){
}
});

2.Build a release version, Install and start the app.

3. Try to Shutdown the System from StartMenu-->Turn Off Computer --> Turn Off
