ActionScript 3 :: Instantiate TabbedViewNavigator For Playbook
Nov 16, 2011
How can I instantiate a TabViewNavigator from actionscript for the playbook? Currently, I add the necessary spark frameworks and have this piece of code in the Main of my actionscript project:
[SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#ffffff", frameRate="30")]
public class Main extends Sprite {
private var waitDialog:BaseDialog = new BaseDialog ();
public function Main() {
super ();
[Code] .....
When the button is clicked, the button disappears as you would expect but the tab navigator is not added/does not appear. I tried without removing the Main class but that does not work either. What do I need to do to set up a tab interface. I can get similar code working through Flex and MXML but not in actionscript.
I am having an issue with a playbook app I am working on. This is the first one i've done using Flex Burrito Hero, and on the simulator I noticed that the app fails to minimize gracefully (when multi-tasking etc). Are there any resources for handling minimization or anything that could help guide me to debug whats going on with that?
I am trying to write a Playbook app using the AIR SDK, I need a surface of some kind that I can load a large image onto, then subsequently place some smaller images on top of and add the whole lot to a ScrollPane so I can pan it around the screen. I have tried by adding the image to a sprite and displaying that in a group in the application but the image does not show up. What is the correct surface kind I should be using here and how should I be loading the images? (currently using "Embed" and loading the image into a BitmapAsset.)
var scroll:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane(); scroll.setScrollContent(image); scroll.update(); scroll.graphics.beginBitmapFill(icon.bitmapData); scroll.graphics.drawRect(100,100,56,56); scroll.graphics.endFill(); scroll.update();
This code causes a non-moving icon to be drawn behind the scrollContent, I want to add something on top of the scroll content that moves with it.
I've got a QNX Picker control that isn't displaying the selected values when there's only one item in the picker. For example:
import qnx.ui.picker.Picker; var pick:Picker = new Picker(); var arr:Array = [{label: "hi!"}]; pick.dataProvider = new DataProvider([new DataProvider(arr)]); pick.selectedIndices = [0]; addChild(pick);
The result is a blank picker. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. When there are 2 items in the arr Array, the picker actually shows the selected Indices. How do I get the picker to display the selected item when there is only 1 item to choose from? I'm using Burrito, with Playbook SDK 0.9.3.
I'm creating a pure actionscript 3 mobile project for Blackberry Playbook. One problem I have came across is that there seems to be no inbuilt way to handle view navigation. In flex mobile projects, we have the spark.components.ViewNavigator component, but this isn't available on a pure AS3 mobile project. These two links are both making their own libraries for view navigation...
I am creating a Playbook app in Adobe Flex/AIR. I have a situation where there is too much content to show all on one page so I would like it where the content overflows vertically, the user can swipe to scroll down, like they were viewing a website on an Ipad.
I am extending the View class to make my screens, I could place every screen in a one element List or surround it all in a Scroller but surely there must be an inbuilt way to do this on the Playbook?
With the limited Blackberry documentation, I'm struggling to find the solution,
After deploying the Flex 4.5 Spark Scroller control to a Playbook, the default result is choppy/jittery scrolling and no spring at the top and bottom of the scrolling.
Is there a way to change this behavior to a normal smooth touch scrolling with start and end springiness?
I'm building an application that has a certain colouring feature where the user is able to select pencil crayons and essentially draw on a white surface and erase and what not. I was hoping the actual implementation/math/logic for drawing would be taken care of and all I would have to do is set up touch events in my Playbook project.
The problem I have is how do I integrate the openGL library with a Playbook project that solely uses AS3.I've looked around the web for like a 'AS3GL' equivalent but couldn't find anything, it seems that openGL is only catered to certain platforms/languages?
I am wondering if Flash / AIR can find all these mobile devices front facing camera and use RTMP to stream the video captured? I would like to create a video conferencing app for these devices. Of course none of them support testing this in the simulators and I don't have the funds to purchase or access all of them that I would like to test. I have seen some posts where they have done this for android but not sure about support for finding a list of cameras, choosing one and streaming from iphone 4 and playbook.
I have a Flash application written in ActionScript 2 that I would like to port to the BlackBerry Playbook. The application is composed of an .swf file and a directory containing a large number of vector images. The path to these images (e.g. imagefolder/icons/icon1.swf) is hard-coded into an application and requires the image directory and the .swf file to be in the same directory.
I've installed the PlayBook SDK and have tried packaging the application with FlashBuilder 4, but I have no experience with this programme and have so far been unsuccessful. I tried placing the application in an SWFLoader component, but I then realised after reading this pdf document that MXML components are not supported. Since the app is written in AS2, I believe it cannot be compiled by Flash Builder. I don't need any any of the AIR features so I was wondering how could I embed the .swf and image directory in a Flash Builder ActionScript project so that it would run on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
way to modify/replace the icon of a Playbook program?
Like display a red star on it - to indicate there is new message for the user.
I've tried tracing NativeApplication.supportsDockIcon and NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon properties, but they are both false on Playbook simulator.
how to take what a user inputs into a s:TextInput and use that as a variable in a JSON data request? Basically, I want to have a user enter a search term, like "math" and then have that placed into a variable so I can use it in a JSON request. Something like public var q:String, except that my search box (and hence user input) is on another "view" of the application. I've just started with Flex Mobile applications and I might be way out of my league.
What is a good framework to build a multiplayer game in Actionscript? I want to create a multiplayer 2D shooter like Asteroids on the Blackberry Playbook; my main concern is latency - a shooter wouldn't be fun if the bullets are super-jerky and unexpectedly hit people. I'm guessing that a UDP-based framework would be the best.
I'm trying to do an unzip like application for the Blackberry Playbook, which means that the application mostly gets launched when the user clicks a file for which the app is registered.I googled a bit around, and the closed what I found is this, but MobileApplication doesn't have invoke parameter.
I'm developing an application for the Blackberry Playbook using Flash Burrito 4.5 and Flex. I'd like to create a file browser to allow users to load images from the local system into the application. I followed this example [URL] When I click on the Load Image button in the simulator however, the file browser pops up but tells me that "no file was found with the specified filter", even though I don't specify any filter or even if I specify a . filter.
Migrating to AS3 is being harder than I supposed, because the way things are referenced. I have a stay movie clip instantiated from library like this:
Code:
var mcMyMain:MovieClip = new mcMain(); addChild(mcMyMain); var mcMyChild:MovieClip = new mcChild(); mcMyMain.addChild(mcMyChild);
Within mcMyChild I have a timeline with some animation, and, at the end of this timeline I want to instantiate another movieclip in mcMyMain (that is in stage) like this:
Code: stop(); var mcMyTest:MovieClip = new mcTest(); stage.mcMyMain.addChild(mcMyTest);
I would like to know if its possible, to use a string in order to create a UI element.I think many people have this kind of problem, they want an easy setup in flash to generate a dynamic UI, through code.It should look like this (pseudo code):
addToStage("Button","add"); addToStage("TextInput","name"); private function addToStage ( o : Object, str : String ) : void {
I keep getting this error: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.Probably just something stupid... but I'm struggling...I have two classes (ribostrand.as and nucleo.as) in a folder called architect. The main FLA file is outside the folder.I'm trying instantiate the nucleo class with parameters, from the ribostrand class... but its not working.
var ribo:nucleo = new nucleo("A",50,50) < code moved to the next thread and reformated >
I have been trying to get buttons to work when linking back from an html page to a frame in a .swf movie for a couple weeks now, I have searched exhaustively to no avail. I am out of resources, I have searched every variation of the issue in multiple places and just cannot find an answer.
In a nut shell, when the "home" page (.swf in an html container page published with html anchors) runs first time all is well, buttons function goes to certain frames no prob. But once the links go out to another html page, and then back to the frame in the .swf, all links properly back to correct frames, but then the buttons don't function anymore. The closest I have gotten to solving this is it was mentioned that the mouse event code is not instantiating for some reason that I cannot understand.
The code IS on all the fames that are in question, but just will not work after linkback.
Is it possible to instantiate MovieClips that exist in the library (that have been exported for actionscript) with a for loop using an array that holds their link name?
var fruit:Array = new Array("apple", "banana", "blackberries"); for (var i:int = 0; i < fruit.length; i++) { var aFruit[i] : fruit[i] = new fruit[i]; }
As simple a problem as the title says. I must be doing something really stupid. I've got a large section of a site, built a month ago runs fine. Went to make some changes. Now when I compile the video instantiantion fails. I've gone back to basics to test this problem out and it persists.So, here's my document class:package sections{import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.media.Video;public class LocketVideo extends MovieClip{private var _vid:Video = new Video(200, 200);public function LocketVideo() {trace("hi there");}}}When I compile the swf I get the following error:/Projects/[omitted]/Src/sections LocketVideo.as, Line 9 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.( line 9 is the _vid line )Now, if I pull out the parameters of the video object it works fine... well compiles fine. A video object without a size isn't much use. Note that if I don't set parameters... all other calls to the object fail.My first thought was that my default Flash classes got corrupted. Nope. Ran this compile on two other computers, same issue. Also thought maybe I had the fla set to the wrong .
