Hi all, I´d like to make a proposal for next generetion of Flex development that is to integrate the mobile navigation way and components to work in the browsers, fixing some bugs that this integration at the moments gives.
I´m proposing that because for me the mobile navigation style is much more interesting, intelligent and easy, in my point of view, than the 'conventional web' way. Even made for using with the hands, when you use in the browser and with the mouse, stills great and more intuitive to deal with the interfaces, specially with lists. The most interesting for me in mobile navigation is the scroller for several reasons: the fact that you dont need to position the mouse in that 20 pixels area in the right to scroll the list (ok, they build the scroller in the mouse, but i scroll with the device as well by clicking and dragging); the smooth movement on the scroller, that gives a great sensation on the user; and the most important for me: mobile devices will take the leader on the market in a near future, thats fact, and with that interface aproach, users fell closer to that enviroment - by simulating mobile in the browser we reduce the distance between PC and mobile near zero! I´m making a project now that i use (simulate) the mobile components in the regular browser, and i prefer much more than the regular way. I did 2 prototypes to say that and listen to my clients opinion. This project started as mobile only. When i read about simulating mobile in the browser, i just reused ALL the components making just little ajustments as well as camera capture. The only problems that occurs is that the fact that i cannot use TextInput or TextArea because gives a fatal error! Well, thats a big bug... and thats the reason for that proposal! I dont know how proposal works on the incubator... and if i will even know if that will be aproval or not... so please tell me more about that if possible. Oh, i got the tutorial about running mobile applications in the browser here: http://www.riagora.com/2011/08/flex-mobile-in-the-browser/comment-page-1/#comment-2657 As you can see, he uses a TextInput! I dond know how... i send him comments but was not answered since today! I think he was using an older Flex than me. I using Flex 4.6. There are some strange errors too, but TextInput and TextArea are the huge ones! Ok, if aproved, we would had to implement the mouse scroll device to scroll the lists correctly too... Thanks
