Title: AIR and using a NativeWindow as SplashScreen Post by: snoopy on October 10, 2008, 10:01:24 Hello
I am trying to use PureMVC together with Adobe AIR. I am currently trying to use a NativeWindow in AIR as a splash screen for my PureMVC project. The idea is that this window shown during the time I am trying to load the configuration file and the templates directory. Now I am not sure how to use PureMVC together with new NativeWindows. I am planning to have two extra windows in my application besides the main window (of WindowedApplication). Does anyone have experience with making splash screens and use a NativeWindow for this? What would be the best approach when using PureMVC? I would think about something like starting the application with the main window hidden (using the manifest file) and then create somewhere this native window and then listen for VIEW_APP_WINDOW where I then kill the splash screen window and show the application/main window. Thanks! Oh yeah, I am a PureMVC noob.

I turn off all the chrome and center it to the main screen. I then pop new windows for my other views because I generally want chrome on them.

I was thinking about: var theWindowOptions: NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions(); var theWindow: NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(theWindowOptions ); etc. Where would I put this code?

I generally use windows as wrappers only (with the idea that maybe this will one day want to be a web app), but since I also want to pop the windows from multiple locations, the command works very well. Generally something like this:
public class MyWindowOpenCommand extends SimpleCommand implements ICommand Title: Re: AIR and using a NativeWindow as SplashScreen Post by: snoopy on October 10, 2008, 03:07:21 I will give it a try tomororw! Thanks.

I have put the viewing stuff in the SplashScreenMediator-class and then sending a SHOW-notification from the ShowSplashScreenCommand. |
