Adobe Air Simple Demo

This simple demo application uses the sample code provided with Jamal.

You can find the example in the trunk:

http://jamal-mvc.com/browser/code/trunk/examples/air-simple

The demo contains two folders:

  • build - holding the packed Air file aka the installer
  • src - holds the source code of the app

To test the demo can either use the air installer or setup an air project within  Aptana. Aptana has a very nice Air integration, which lets you run an air project without the need to install it. So you definitely should check this out if you don´t want to go crazy in the command line.

Stuff to mention

Take a peak into the index head section at the JS includes

  • generally you are free with the folder structure(nesting) of your js files. You should just keep the Jamal specific structure
  • the app specific js code (/app/*) is included one by one but should be packed upon delivery. While developing this gives you greater debugging capabilities.
  • The jamal core is already packed for your convenience.
  • The vendors folder contains 3rd party js code. In this case you´ll find the firebug lite in there. This is due to the fact that there is no native js debugging console available in air.
