Serrano Image Viewer built with Flex Builder 3 and AIR

Here is a simplistic image viewing application named “Serrano” built with Flex Builder 3. One main plus for the app is the ability to view SWF’s in the users local system. The app was originally created in Flex Builder 2 and then ported to FB3. This is very much an alpha release or even a prototype for now. The user experience still needs to be solidified and there are a few features that need to be built out, like thumbnail view, etc.

At the moment Serrano is having some trouble displaying images on Mac’s (or at least the one my friend Joshua Behshad tested with). So I need to get that kink worked out. There are a few other issues, but I think the app is presenting the basic proof of concept for now.

Please take a look and let me know what you think. As I mentioned there is still a bit of work left so consider this somewhat of a preview.

One thing to mention is that the port to Flex Builder 3 was painless. Pretty much copy and paste unlike the SQLite app that I had built which took quite a bit of work to get ported. Just an FYI for other AIR developers out there.

  1. Hi, this doesn’t appear to work on a Mac. I can browse folders and select files, but no luck seeing them (I get a broken image icon).

  2. Apologies I see you already know about this issue.

    Serrano should now be displaying the images for Mac’s. Many, many thanks to Rich Tretola for providing the patch. Thanks again Josh B. for the help testing Serrano. Now, I need to start refining her….

  5. Works for me now on Mac. Nice work. One suggestion: when I click on a folder on the right in the datagrid I would not want the app to open that folder right away. Instead I’d just want to select it, then be able to press a letter to jump to a folder beginning with that letter, as you would expect.

  7. How did you resolve the issue of images not showing on a Mac?
    I’m wrestling with this problem right now in an AIR app I’m writing.
    Any chance we could view the source? :)
