So today I stumbled upon a great post: http://forums.crackberry.com/f243/ho...aybook-617889/

With the .swf readily available, I tried to package it into a .bar file, just for the sake of trying.

After messing around and finally getting the .bar signed properly, I got it installed to my PlayBook:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/PlayB...jpg?w=c37e0877

The issue I'm having now is that it runs nothing like the original .swf that was downloaded. The app loads up straight into the game, no screen to select 1/2players, etc. and it does not detect touch

Curious if there is something that needs to be done to get these .swf files to work correctly following the method I tried.

I know bookmarks work and all, but would be nice to kinda have them packagable as apps that you can install

One of the guys that works for me tried as well but with no luck either.

I like experimenting and all too but I don't really see any benefit in doing this vs. just loading the .swf file(s).

Kinda interested to see if someone can figure this out tho...

I also tried this and I discovered that it doesn't work most of the time. I tried packaging the Photoshop Express Editor in a bar file. It worked, but I could not get passed the loading screen so it was not functional.

Mainly just for the sake of doing it lol but a few things I thought would be beneficial is to have a particular icon and to prevent accidental scrolling in the game - with the .swf I would sometimes scroll the whole screen up or down and with the .bar it seemed to stop this.

Most games I've found you can prevent the accidental scrolling by going full screen with a double tap on the screen.

3 .swfs walk into a .bar...

the reason touch probably doesn't work is although it is a flash file it was not written with the playbook sdk. because of that it does not recognize when you touch the screen.

I also would like to know how to convert .swf to .bar. I created simple clocks and calenders with Sothink SWF Quicker.

I would like to convert them to .bar so they dont time out in five minutes.

Any advice or is it not possible to do?
