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 would like to position relatively a scroller in my application like below.When I scale the image, I resize the scroller...
<s:Scroller width="50%" height="50%" >
<s:Group>
<mx:Image

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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
Ive been trying to write my first Blackberry Adobe Flex application but get the following errors:
1172: Definition mx.controls:Label could not be found.
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,
Is possible to make a "push", initiated by a server, to send data down to a Blackberry playbook application?
If so how is this best implemented in Flex/Actionscript? ie. How do we capture this on the client?
The overall aim of my project is to communicate between two Playbook flex applications. I found this article and tried it out:
[URL]
Application 1 (Called 'App1')
var folder:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("shared/misc");
folder.createDirectory();
employeeDB = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('shared/misc/employee.db');

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.
View 1 RepliesI'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.
View 2 Repliesthere 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.
let's say i have a text scroller like this:what i need is when the scroller goes at the bottom and there is nothing else to show,with some trick to call a fuction so the "down" button disappear.i need this cause i made a scroller only with 2 buttons, and they don't look like broswer's scrollbar. (they are at the center up/down of the text scroller)

View 1 RepliesIn flex 4 I'm using a PopUpButton with a Menu populated with records from the database.For one of our clients, the data provider of the Menu has more than 50 elements.When they click on the Menu it expands beyond the height of the screen without showing a scroller or responding to the mouse-wheel.So in effect there is no way to access the lower items on the menu.So I need to somehow restrict the height of the menu and add a scroller.The rowCount and maxHeight commands are having no effect.
var companyContextMenu:Menu=new Menu();
companyContextMenu.maxHeight=400;
companyContextMenu.rowCount=20;
I have layout with two forms. I'm using scroller but scrollbars don't align to window but appear somewhere in the middle of the application screen.

Below You can see screen-shot of my app. There is no scrollbars at the borders.Here is the screen-shot with scroller set to width and height to 300 pixels.As You can see the scrollbar is not attached to window.

View 3 RepliesHow 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:

public class Main extends Sprite {
private var waitDialog:BaseDialog = new BaseDialog ();
public function Main() {
super ();

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 new to Flex. I am trying to add a scroller in my main application/windows. Is that possible? I found out it is possible to add scoller bars in DataGrid, like horizontalScrollPolicy="on". How to implement it in containers like Group,Panel and etc?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to get the content of a component inside a scroller to be at 100% height.
here is a simple example:
<s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%">
<s:viewport>
<s:Group height="100%">
[Code]....
As you can see, the green bar (set at 100% height) is just using the height of the viewport, not that of it's parent group, that is stretched by the red one to be 500px high.
I'm trying to skin the Scroller in my application so that it looks like the example mentioned in [URL] This example was done in Flex 3 and images are set in CSS. I tried to create a skin for the component Scroller and saw that it uses VScrollBar and HScrollBar. I tried to put skins for these components. VScrollBar uses separate skins for the track, thumb, decrement/increment buttons. I tried to make some changes in the skin, but they were not reflected at all in the application. I just want to create a customized scroll bar in Flex 4 with custom thumbs.
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on an Adobe AIR application that shows the user some graphical data. As this data is more in height to fit the screen height, I've placed it inside a scroller.
Now I want to take a print of this visual data, mostly some charts and lists but I only see a single page containing only the part of the screen that is currently visible to the user. I want to have the entire content inside the scroller to appear on the page.
