Adobe AIR Development

[lrrm]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused and I'm pretty sure I have made a failure somewhere.

I'm using FlashDevelop 4.2.2 on Windows 8 and I'm able to deploy a SWF without problems. Except if it comes to qnx classes.

I wanted to use the ActionBar class. As the class is not importable, although I have set the latest AIR SDK as default SDK, I copied the whole qnx folder into my projects library folder and added the following files to my library.
• QNXDevice.ane

• QNXSkins.ane

• qnxui.swc

In the swf file I'm import the ActionBar class and make an instance. Then I add it to the stage. This seems to work so far. The export of the swf runs through without any error. The swf file opens up without an error. It is just plain white. There have been other items at the stage and I'm sure they aren't displayed because the debug player detects an exception before any other errors.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I haven't changed neither the application.xml nor the bar-descriptor.xml? Should I? If yes in which way?

Hi lrmm

I'm assuming you're deploying to a device or simulator, yes?

In order to work, your *-app.xml file has to contain something like this (changing the ane's properly):

<extensions>
  <extensionID>qnx.system.QNXDevice</extensionID>
  <extensionID>qnx.fuse.ui.skins.QNXSkins</extensionID>
</extensions>

Also, when creating the BAR file, you have to include the ANE's as well. To do so from command line, you have to use the -ane <ane_file> parameter when calling the blackberry-airpackager utility.

I hope it helps.

thank you for the reply. I really missed the extension part in the xml files.

this may sound a bit stupid but I assumed that the classes were just premanufactured movieclips or sprites. so I tested the swf in the local debug flashplayer.

I thought it wouldn't work so I did not tested it on the dev alpha... sorry....
