    I recently attended Adobe ApolloCamp.
    So I wanted to make an apollo app. Apollo is a cross-platform runtime that allows you to create desktop flex apps.
    More Info

    Here is my first app. I had to build something around Intype cause it is my favorite piece of software.
    It is an itSnippet file editor called snip.
    You will need the apollo runtime get it here.

    Note: You will be able to break this. I don’t have any validation anywhere. There maybe some bugs.
    Check it out if you want. Download

    Hey,
    That’s pretty handy. I had a quick look at Apollo the other day, it interests me, but I have no idea how to use it at the moment. Snip works well, couple of things:

    1. When I started it up it tried to access my floppy drive twice, couldn’t (as there was no disk), and so came up with that “Cancel, Try Again, Continue” error
    2. There isn’t really any need to leave the single quotes at the start and end of the snippet in the Content box
    3. The error saying “Please choose an itSnippet file to edit” doesn’t really need to appear when you click on a folder, and that’s quite easy to do when browsing through the structure, it gets a bit irritating having to click it every time

    Looks great though, I’d really like to learn Apollo, anything’s gotta be better than Java.

    Looks cool – thanks for sharing!

    One of java’s big problems, client side, is the non-native (and mostly butt-ugly) look and feel. Apollo seems to have somewhat fixed the butt-ugly problem (although this is a bit subjective) – have they fixed the native look and feel? Can you create Apollo apps which look like native apps?

    Thanks guys for checking it out and for the feedback.

    Jack:
    1. Unfortunately this is a documented apollo bug. Adobe is fixing it. I can’t fix it until they do. Sorry. Until then you can stick a FD in if you still have one.
    2. This is me being lazy. Sorry about that. If I leave them then I don’t have to check if the quote is single or double. Man I’m lazy wait I already said that.
    3. I can fix that. Sorry it is so annoying.
    Thanks

    I fixed the errors that Jack mentioned. All except the FD error.
    I’ve uploaded the new version if you want to check it out.

    Excellent, works great, two more things (sorry :) ):

    1. When you hit tab in the content box it moves focus to the other fields, rather than inserting a tab character.
    2. The first tab character on a line seems to appear as a space, even though it is a tab.

    For example, this:

    if(${1:condition}) { ${0:# code...} }

    Looks like this:

    if(${1:condition}) { ${0:# code...} }

    And this:

    if(${1:condition}) { ${0:# code...} }

    Looks like this:

    if(${1:condition}) { ${0:# code...} }

    Other that that this really is fantastic, should make managing snippets much easier.

    Thanks Jack.
    1. I can probably fix this.
    2. I’ll look in to this. It might be a Flash TextArea limitation.

    I updated it a bit there is an insert tab mode.
    When checked you can insert tab characters.
    Left unchecked you can tab for focus.

    Jack
    2. For some reason the first tab is displayed as a space. It really is a tab though.
    Looking in to why. Weird

    Note:
    The C/C++ Bundle snippets don’t work cause they are all UTF-16LE.
    If you change them to UTF-8 they will.

    Nice app! I wish Adobe would improve the drawing of the components tho… its not as smooth as I would’ve liked. But this is the next thing I’m gonna learn when I get some free time :D
