Flex :: View Navigation On Blackberry Playbook
Apr 14, 2011I'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...

Flex :: Swiping Through Content On Blackberry Playbook?
Apr 18, 2011I 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,

Flex :: Using Qnx.ui.picker.Picker In Mobile Project For Blackberry Playbook
Mar 11, 2011there is a Picker example for usage in an ActionScript project. It works well in simulator. But how do you use that component in a Mobile Flex Project (with Burrito Flash Builder)? How do you add a qnx.ui.picker.Picker to a spark.components.View? The latter seems to expect a mx.core.UIComponent, but the former is a qnx.ui.core.UIComponent. The ActionScript project I've mentioned above works ok, because the Picker is added to the Sprite. But adding it to a View in a Mobile Flex project fails for me.
UPDATE: I've found this page today: [URL] And also I've found out that the QNX AIR components work on Android as well, wonder if it is legal to use them there? Nothing is mentioned in Playbook SDK Legal Notice.
Actionscript :: Port A Flash Application To BlackBerry PlayBook?
Jan 2, 2011I 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.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Playbook AIR SDK Images On Surface
Jul 21, 2011I 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.

Flex :: Specify Swc When Building A Swf?
Jul 7, 2010I have implemented some utility classes in Flex that I want to use in multiple AIR projects. I have created a swc which contain these classes. I am working on a Linux machine and do not have FlashBuilder. So I am using the compc and mxmlc command line SDK tools. My problem is that I have not been able to find a way to specify the swc when building the standalone project. A tutorial suggested the following command: mxmlc -load-config /opt/flex/4.1.0/frameworks/air-config.xml -library-path=/path/to/utility.swc hello.mxml. However, using that gives me the error hello.mxml: Error: Unable to locate specified base class 'mx.core.WindowedApplication' for component class 'hello'. Everything works fine if I move all code from the swc to a single monolithic pro ject. The code for the standalone project is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" windowComplete="completeHandler();">

Flex :: Enterprise - Building A New System In Flex / Air?
Feb 21, 2011This maybe a bit of a 'wide' question, but am putting together a brief overview of a new system I'm proposing at work. It will be a POS style system, that does quotes and invoices + crm for our work enviroment across 100 + locations.
It will communicate with server via the Internet. Flex / Air feature set (offline SQL is Internet goes down, Rich communications, rich client environment etc), the fact that we run Macs + PC makes it looks like a great choice. I know HTML 5 has offline SQL and stuff, but flex feature set is way more comprehensive / usable etc..Is anyone doing any big corporate Flex / Air projects that need to last a long time? Or are you pushing HTML and its new technologies to provide a more safe investment.
