hi,

I am developing HTML desktop app using adobe AIR.

Thought i can use it like browser page. Its not able to handle all jquery ,bootstrap etc.

So removed all . just created a simple form with static combo box with many values.

When i opened combo box and selected value whole screen redrawing( you can see it flicker). Annoying as hell.

When i click button or type in input field its not happening.

Anyone have clue?. I tried this same page in TideSDK ( its not flickering there).

But i am gona go with AIR because of update feature but i need to get rid of flickering issue before i go any further.

Anyone here done HTML form in adobe air?

Please help. I am having headache all day on this issue.

Advanced Thanks .

I meant flickering means...when i open combobox and click focus is going out of air window as though combobox is in some another window. once click press mouse down...focus is in combo box but window loses focus and once releases mouse ..window back to focus.  Kinda annoying effect when u try to click on combo box and select.

Tested with html scout sample app and load any webpage with combobox , window loses focus.

But any combobox made using EXT it do not flicker because ext handles focus event correctly.

My windows has set of combo box and user always select different value from combo box if keep losing focus and coming back its annoying as hell.

SOLVED IT.

i used select2 styling combo box instead of native HTML combo box which gave the annoying focus problem.

Hope it helps others.
