Oh working on PTRACO

I am also working on one Apollo App. Ptraco , We had thought a lot a lot and lot.. many many and many logos different approaches.. thinking and deciding on the technology. Finally.. Apollo was the solution and here we go.. I have wrote many API's and base is almost done. No need to say..The UI is great! Lot to do ..lot to do..lot to learn... Details on http://sagarkulkarni.com/2007/07/23/first-air-application-way-to-build/ We are using OpenAmf for the server connections.

My new notesApp

I am really dumb enough. So many days I have not posted anything on my blog. Actually studied a lot and tried lot of samples but did not posted anything. Hmmmmm!. Sagar has posted the app oh his blog.


OK enough ... here is the APP.



Screen shots should be enough to give clear idea of what the app is. Too lazy to write anything.

Check Box in list

I was too lazy to read docs and then create a cellrenderer class to show checkbox in list component.
Was searching for some ready made code to get this working.
But no luck finally tired out something and could get to this point

example: List with CheckBox

Source

You can find the CheckCellRenderer.as in mx/controls/cells folder of flash

I edited it according to my need and named as CheckBoxCell.as

My first Apollo application

Checked out the Apollo followed the tutorial on labs by Andrew Muller : Building your First flex-based Apollo application. and could make an first step towards it. Its something very similar to mdm and Mprojector. There we get the mdm component to access the api of mdm (in flash). Here we need to have a apolloApplication tag instead of Applicaion tag in(flex) and Basically it creates a exe to which we can give attributes from xml(myApp-app.xml ) file kept on application root. we can have all the attributes like transparency's systemChrome and applications icon. We need to create a deployable air (installer )file.

We can ditribute this air file for the installation. and thats all..
Apollo app is created. we just need to study the Apollo api's :

Apollo is on Adobe labs

Was waiting long for Apollo ..and now the wait has ended. Was desperate to try something in it. But it was not available for development for the common developers.

But now its publicly available for the download on the adobe labs.We were reading a lot about it , its Camp from the various ppl's blog. But now will actually get to try something on it. :) Just visit this link : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/ Check out all the sample applications and learn a lot , develop a lot :) Cheers :)!
