Its seems that you only compiled a "binary" but did not created application bundle.
Mac OS X GUI applications are not plain files, they are in fact folders (directories) with special structure.
You can right-click and application supplied with Mac OS X and choose "View package content" contextual menu to view bundle hierarchy.
You can read about bundles more at:

P.S. And please, do not use "all uppercase" phrases.

Hi Everyone,

I am facing this issue for long time, so i thought to post it here.

Problem: When I double click and launch my application a terminal window opens 
every time and if I try to close the Terminal my application is also killed.

1. I have developed an application in Flex. Exported it to a .dmg file.
2. After that I used "Package Creator" to make a installer for my application.
3. Now, using this installer I install the application.
4. Icon is created on Desktop. 
5. When i click this Icon to open my application a Terminal window launches,
and then my application.

So, I want to hide this terminal window.
I read somewhere that this terminal window is shown because "Mac binaries are set to be opened with the 'Terminal' program".
And it is like application is executing in that terminal, i.e Terminal is Parent process of application. 

Requirement: When i launch my application the terminal window should not appear.


IS THERE ANY WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS, by shell script, apple script or any other way? 


Thanks.
Mayank Agarwal
