An AIR gotcha

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:48:00 GMT

I am working on an AIR application at work and I thought I would post a little gotcha when creating an application that does not use the default system chrome.

The documentation says to set the systemChrome to none, and set transparent to true and that will turn off the chrome... well... almost. If you are building a Flex based AIR application, you also have to set showFlexChrome to false as well, or you still get the flex chrome... Hope this helps someone :)

If you have a spare 4 hours tonight (ya right) you should definitely come down and check out the AIR bus tour.

Ted Patrick along with Mike Downey and Mike Chambers will be on hand to show you what you can do with Flex and HTML based AIR applicaitons.

BTW - free Red Bull, food, Adobe Software (including Flex Builder) and Master Collections.

Trace output tool

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:20:25 GMT

I have found myself having to use IE more and more (although its not my first choice) and I found myself missing the FireFox plugin, FlashTracer.

Well, I decided to make my own viewer and since I am a PC guy, I used C# Express and built this little app. I call it Trace Watcher and it does essentially the same thing as the Flash Tracer plugin and is useful.

There are a couple of bugs and things I will be updating soon, but I thought I would share anyway.
