Hi guys, first time poster so I apologize if this is a basic
question! I am creating a Media cataloging application to run as a
desktop application through Air, I initially built this as a Flex
web app but have decided I want it as a standalone. Anyway my
problem is this, in the web version I was using the following code:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"layout="absolute" creationComplete="srv.send()"
xmlns:ns1="com.dougmccune.containers.*"
backgroundGradientAlphas="[1.0, 1.0]"
backgroundGradientColors="[#FFFFFF, #2CE1AC]" width="1281">
<mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="dvdLibrary.xml"/>
<mx:DataGrid x="336" y="57"
dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.dvdList.dvd}" id="dg" width="935"
height="354">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Title"
dataField="title"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Studio"
dataField="studio"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Released"
dataField="releaseDate"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Runtime"
dataField="runtime"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Colour"
dataField="color"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Aspect Ratio"
dataField="aspectRatio"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
The above code uses the XML file to populate the dataGrid
(which I am sure you know already!
🙂 ), however when I port this
to an Air app, it no longer works. I have tried changing the
<mx:HTTPService> tag and attributes to the <mx:XML
source="pathtoXML.xml" id="srv"/> and <mx:Model
source="pathtoXML.xml" id="srv"/> but neither works.
Can anyone shed any light? I also get and error saying
something about creationComplete send() is not a function?
Is there a very different way of achieving this in Air?
Thanks in advance!
