HOWTO: Running Adobe's Flexstore demo as a desktop application

Submitted by Mark Birbeck on Fri, 2006-12-08 17:39.

Open a command prompt, and change to the Sidewinder directory. If you have installed Sidewinder in the default locations, then you can type this:

cd "\program files\sidewinder\viewer 2.0"

Now execute the following command:

swviewer2 http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/flexstore/flexstore.html#meta(width=1010,height=610)

flex-store-command-prompt

HOWTO: A desktop web application to search Flickr

Submitted by Mark Birbeck on Wed, 2006-12-06 18:34.

In this example we'll show how to convert a simple XHTML form into a desktop web application. In fact there is so little to it that it barely warrants a page...all you need to do is rename any HTML or XHTML document so that the file extension is .webapp--or deliver an application from a server with the MIME type application/webapp+xml--and Sidewinder will be triggered to open and run your document as a desktop web application.

NASA Feeds in the Sidewinder Viewer

The latest version of the Sidewinder Viewer provides more options for docking renderer windows from the JavaScript API. Notably, it is now possible to create Renderer objects as docked children of a larger Application object. This allows a user to close your entire application from a single top-level window and can also provide a more convenient grouping of related windows.

Switch Browsers

Submitted by rleif on Mon, 2006-09-11 16:33.

Since I am using Firefox as my default browser, Sidewinder opens my XForms in Firefox. I would like to be able to open my XForms with Internet Explorer using Sidewinder without changing the setting for the default browser. This could be done using an option element in a menu.
Thank you.

Backpack Reminders in the Sidewinder Viewer

We've just started developing a new sample for the Sidewinder Viewer which, among other things, demonstrates basic communication between a running script and the rendered document. The sample uses the Backpack web service, via its RESTful API, and is something that we shall continue to develop as the viewer becomes more powerful.

Time for a widget spring clean

Submitted by Mark Birbeck on Fri, 2006-09-01 15:43.

Screenshot of analogue clock using SVG and XFormsEvery now and then, when I'm looking for something else, I stumble across a widget or an application that we've built using Sidewinder and formsPlayer, but for one reason or another we didn't get round to putting on the site. (Good old Google Desktop Search!)

UTF-8 encoded documents are not handled sanely

Submitted by Phil Booth on Thu, 2006-08-31 14:40.

Something in our handling of UTF-8 encoded documents is incorrect, causing them to be treated as malformed (hence UTF-8 .webapps don't work, for example).
