AIR HelpDocs Viewer

Friday, March 21, 2008   

Since Flex Builder 3 and AIR are so much fun and generally pretty easy to use, I am whipping up a sample application that merely serves up various URLs to an HTML control via List and you can also type in your own URLs to go to.

Easy history navigation included. Basic HTML loading progress. Right now I have the following destinations:
<mx:Model id="myTopics">
<topics>
<topic label="AS3 Reference"
data="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/"/>
<topic label="Flex 3.0 Reference"
data="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html"/>
<topic label="Getting started with Flex 3"
data="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/index.html"/>
<topic label="Kirupa AS3 Forums"
data="http://www.kirupa.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=141"/>
</topics>
</mx:Model>
Wondering if I should add some more destinations... this will be a useful tool for those who don't want to worry about bookmarks, etc. and its also an easy application to show people in the organization to see how to create a Flex/AIR application and how much fun it is.

A note: custom icons aren't working in the FB trial from Adobe right now. I get error 303 all the time when I try.

“It's a bug. On the official Adobe bug tracker item I read this:

I've had the same problem and solve it by copying the icons in the root folder of the project (no "copy non-embedded files" had to be checked). The -app.xml contains directly the names of icons (without any path). Hope this helps.


However, I haven't gotten this to work yet. Looks like we need a update to FB3.”
