My first Adobe Air Application! E-Synergy Workflow
I've created my first full Adobe Air application today with the Dreamweaver CS3 extension, using Javascript, Ajax, Coldfusion and HTML.
We use an application called Exact E-Synergy for storing our complete workflow, contact management, project management, etc. which is a really awesome webbased CRM-package (and so much more). I hate having to permanently have an Internet Explorer window open, so I developed this utility which list my workflow for the next week. It also highlights new items in yellow, and notifies people of new items that have arrived.
Adobe Air: adding a timer through Javascript
So I am working on a small app that should run a fixed javascript routine (a refresh of a page) every 60 seconds.
First off, make sure that you have the AirAliases.js loaded:
<script src="AIRAliases.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
And then run this code through Javascript:
function startTimer(){
myTimer = new air.Timer(60000, 0);
myTimer.addEventListener(air.TimerEvent.TIMER, appLoad);
myTimer.start();
}
The second argument for air.Timer() is the number of times you want this timer to run. I run the code at the end of the "appLoad()" function, so it get's looped automatically.myTimer = new air.Timer(60000, 0);
myTimer.addEventListener(air.TimerEvent.TIMER, appLoad);
myTimer.start();
}
The addEventListener is an listener that runs when the TIMER is finished, and it runs the "appLoad" function.
