Adobe AIR Development

[ShoulO]

I spend days trying to make super simple app with one bitmap on screen.

image.png

nothing works ;(

I tried this:

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Adobe-AIR-Development/Add-a-Bitmap-to-the-Screen/m-p/964803#M...

don't work. It says "Call to a possibly undefined method Image."

Can someone give/refer to super simple code example which works?

Im using Flash Builder 4.7

P.S.I made app with Flash Pro it was easy but seems this Flash Builder needs degree in rocket science

 any help appreciated! Thanks

Share your code snippet , by which we can understand what issue you are facing & your approach to add bitmap.

Sounds more like you haven't installed the SDK correctly, or the import is missing

[jtegen]

Does sound like you are not connected to the BB SDK and have selected "Add platform specific libraries to library path" under the project settings.

yes! one breakthrough -

after i did "Add platform specific libraries to library path" things changed - no more  erorr in code, but..

still doesnt work...

thats what i am doing:

1. Create new Actionscript Mobile Project. Name it 'kkk'

2. in project properties i click "Add platform specific libraries to library path"

3. in 'src' folder i import icon.png file

4. write the code:

package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import qnx.ui.display.Image;
	import qnx.fuse.ui.display.Image;

	[SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#CCCCCC", frameRate="30")]
	
	public class kkk extends Sprite
	{
		private var image:Image;
		
		public function kkk()
		{
			super();
			
			image = new Image();
			
			image.setImage("image.png");
			image.setPosition(10,10);
			
			addChild(image);
		}
	}
}

 now code is OK, no errors .but-

5. I run the code i get error:

An ActionScript error has ocured:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable qnx.fuse.ui.styles::CoreStyles is not defined.
    at qnx.fuse.ui.theme::ThemeWhite/createCSS()

    at qnx.fuse.ui.display::Image()
    at kkk()[C:\Documents and Settings\mmm\grybasssssssssss\kkk\src\kkk.as:17]

How to sort this out? thanks!

 BTW- my way of importing .png is : right mouse buton -->import --> general -> File System

Include the Skin and Device ANE.
Also, setting the image name to an external file name is not sufficient. If you are going to load external resources, you have to load them dynamically (URLLoader). If it is icons and such, you can embed them, which allows the app to start a lot faster.

Seems like there's still something wrong with the SDK.Since you are using Flash Builder 4.7, I think there was a different approach for installing the SDK

If you want to go for pure AS3, try this

(your image should be in a subfolder called 'assets')

package
{
	import flash.display.Bitmap;
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	
	[SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#404040", frameRate="60")]
	public class Test extends Sprite
	{
		[Embed(source='assets/image.png')]	public static const MyImage : Class;
		
		public function Test()
		{
			initBGR();
		}
		
		private function initBGR():void
		{
			var myImg:Bitmap = new MyImage();
			var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
			mySprite.addChild(myImg);
			mySprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
			addChild(mySprite);
		}
	}
}

 (not sure if 'static' has to be there)

Follow above link to add ANE.

[ShoulO]

whait a bit. I dont understand

you say i must include ANE. Which is native specific features of bb10 device. Does this mean this code will not work for other devises like android(or any other which supports AIR)?

is there a method to load an image without ANE?

i thought ANE is for something really specific - like acelerometer or like. but to load one inocent bitmap - do i really need ane?

also you sayed "load them dynamically" - how this is done?

in Flash Pro. I have library where i store items how this is achieved in "flash builder"?

I really  thought these simple things gonna be sraightforward.

Im moving from Flash Pro so , Flash Builder is new to me

Sorry for my ignorance. thanks for help.

Yeah to access code BB10 classes , you need to use qnxSkins.ane , if you are only in need of showing in png file , you can use UrlLoader , which will gives you its bitmapData , which you can add on a sprite object by adding bitmap of this bitmapdata .
But it just a workaround
