Play Game Of Flex, Win Flash Builder

Posted At : 12:47 PM
Related Categories: Mobile : Flex :

A group of my fellow Adobe evangelists have created the Game of Flex for iPad, Android tablets, and (soon) Blackberry PlayBook. The game consists of questions to quiz you on Flex development. If you correctly answer the quiz, you'll get a chance to win a copy of Flash Builder 4.6 (one license per month). Game of Flex is not only a game, it's also a fantastic learning tool that showcases all the new features of Flex 4.6.

I had been very interested in adapting some of my Flex apps for mobile, until seeing this app. I have a Dell Streak Android tablet, and this app is utterly broken on it. The "frames" are badly sized and inflexible, so the content doesn't fit within them. It's impossible to get past the second question, "Display HTML Pages", because it fills the screen with overlapping content areas making it impossible to even click the submit button. This thing is a disaster.

@Nick Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, I need to fix the StageWebView component for low resolution screens. I'll push an update today and hopefully fix the disaster.

@Nick so I checked the screen resolution of the Streak and it's only 800 px by 480 px (I guess you have the 7' version). Indeed, it's not considered as a tablet. My HTC phone has exactly the same resolution, so there is not enough space on the screen for the Game of Flex. You should try "Tour de Mobile Flex" instead which has been designed for your resolution. Based on your feedback, I filtered the devices to exclude the Dell Streak 7. Thanks.

The online form doesnt work with the undocked split keyboard on iPad2. Everytime I clicked a letter the keyboard would go away. Docking and merging the KB seemed to fix it and let me submit
