Adobe AIR Development

[stephen_turner]

Hey Guys,

Im having the hardest time with something extremely simple...dialog boxes! Theres something Im not getting and I hope someone out here knows what Im doing wrong!!!! Ive searched the internet, api docs, forums and still nothings working! The below code is from the BlackBerry AIR resource site and does not display anything when I reference it from a view. From the playbook tablet development the old mx.Alert dialog does not show up either?

Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time!

     private function showAlertDialog():void
     {
        alert = new AlertDialog();
        alert.title = "Warning";
        alert.message = "This operation may harm your computer. Do you still want to proceed?";
        alert.addButton("OK");
        alert.addButton("CANCEL");
        alert.dialogSize= DialogSize.SIZE_MEDIUM;
        alert.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, alertButtonClicked); 
        alert.show(IowWindow.getAirWindow().group);
     }
     
     private function alertButtonClicked(event:Event):void
     {
          trace("Button Clicked Index: " + event.target.selectedIndex);
          trace("Button properties Object"+event.target.getItemAt(event.target.selectedIndex);
     }

Does anybody have working dialog boxes in their air applications?

What was the resolution?

Hey jtegen,  Instead of fighting with the current components to get working I just created my own dialog custom component.

Stupid RIM i have to say. From AIR 1.0 till 3.0, I never make app work straighway after update SDK.

Anyway here is solution for this AlertDialog

import qnx.fuse.ui.dialog.AlertDialog;

var winner11:AlertDialog;

winner11 = new AlertDialog();

winner11.title = "Warning";

winner11.message = message;

winner11.addButton("OK");

winner11.show();

winner11.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, alertButtonClicked);

return winner11;

This still is not working for me anything else I need to do for the Dialog Box to appear?

If you are running on PB OS 2.1, dialogs don't work:

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property deviceOrientation on qnx.display.IowWindow.

 If you are running on Dev Alpha simulator, they work (to a degree).

BB10 SDK is not suppose to run on the PlayBook. That will come later in the spring.

exactly, but (as discussed in another thread) it does (mostly) work.
