Adobe AIR Development

JRab,

thanks for all of your help!!

here's the code I'm using (its almost exactly like the code above, so thank you to those people who wrote it):

I created a folder called "images" inside of the src folder and placed a image called blackberry.bmp inside.

package 
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import qnx.ui.display.Image;
		
	[SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#cccccc", frameRate="30")]
	public class AirHelloWorld extends Sprite
	{
		public function AirHelloWorld()
		{
			var topHeaderImage:Image = new Image();
			topHeaderImage = new Image;
			topHeaderImage.setImage('images/blackberry.bmp');
			topHeaderImage.setPosition(10,10);
			topHeaderImage.setSize(90,90);
			topHeaderImage.visible = true;
			addChild(topHeaderImage);
						
			stage.nativeWindow.visible = true;
		}
			
	}
}

I had to specify the folder in the blackberry-airpackager command right after the path for my application icon.

hey durvasa,

i dont see any problems with your code except maybe this line:

topHeaderImage = new Image;

try changing it to:

topHeaderImage = new Image();

Sometimes i get weird errors when i miss the parenthesis. if that doesnt work my next theory is the format of the image you are trying to display. try using a .jpg or a .png file and see if you get similar results. good luck!

JRab,

I got rid of that extra line of code

topHeaderImage = new Image;

In the end, the issue was the picture format.  Something (either emulator or the compiler) wasnt accepting the bmp file I was using.  But once I used a jpg file, the emulator show the image just fine.

thanks again !

You can also embed the image and bypass the simulator reading the file by:

[Embed(source='assets/gauge.png')]       private var gauge_icon  : Class;

And:

my_image.setImage( new gauge_icon() );
