[Chris Ellem]

If anyone is interested in AIR application I wrote a little one
recently....

//brisbane......ASXX0016
//townsville....ASXX0117
//sydney........ASXX0112
//perth.........ASXX0089
//tampere/finland......FIXX0031


you will need the AIR runtime from adobe

Hi,

Having had no experience in AIR (or really know what it is), out of curiosity I installed AIR, and i think installed your app properly.

At first I thought I must be doing something wrong...I didn't see anything load, then found a little sun on my taskbar, but no program on either of my two monitors...

There is a AIR weather widget icon n my desktop, but clicking on it does nothing....

by accident I see a little "Low 0 celcius " hidden beneath my icons on the top left of my desktop, and notice a settings button\widget\gear icon when I hover my mouse of the area in general.

Clicking on the settings button I get an option windows, and I typed in the Sydney code below..... nothing happens.

Soo, I cant move the window ( if there is one), and can barely see it.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I am behind a firewall that requires authentication prompts...

( Screenshot attached)

Hi Scott,

If you move your powerpoint icon....

You should be able to drag the application out to your open desktop if
you target the missing weather icon.

On completion of the drag operation the application will make a http
call to the yahoo weather service and should correct itself so you can
see it.

Let me know if you have any further issues.

Regards

Chris
