[Announce] Lightningbeam: Open-source Flash GUI [Testers Needed!]

I am working on a open-source alternative to Adobe's Flash animated content creator. It is written in Python, using PyGTK under Linux, and as such should run on the N900. However, I do not have a N900 right now (still trying to find a used one for sale) - is anyone willing to test it?
Deb package - may work, may not: https://github.com/downloads/skykool...htningbeam.deb

It is based on Python and as such should run fine on any architecture. The one binary (swfc) I did compile an arm version, which is included.

How are you installing it - with dpkg or with HAM/FAM?

Re: [Announce] Lightningbeam: Open-source Flash GUI [Testers Needed!]

dpkg -i

thats all am using with the package name and it throws out

package architecture (any) does not match system (armel)

Odd - I'll look into that. In the meantime, you could try this .tar.gz.

I'll give it a try soonish as well.

In the meantime, skykooler, where are you that you can't find any N900s for sale?

Re: [Announce] Lightningbeam: Open-source Flash GUI [Testers Needed!]

installed using dpkg -i --force-architecture lightningbeam.deb.
This is what I get.

Code:

$ lightningbeam

<svlgui.Lightningbeam object at 0x5d56f0>

<svlgui.Lightningbeam object at 0x5d56f0>

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/lightningbeam/lightningbeam.py", line 327, in <module>

    MainWindow = lightningbeam_windows.MainWindowOSX()

  File "/usr/share/lightningbeam/lightningbeam_windows.py", line 246, in __init__

    i.setvisible(False)

  File "/usr/share/lightningbeam/svlgui.py", line 719, in setvisible

    self.frame._gtk_inner_widget.set_visible(False)

AttributeError: 'gtk.Fixed' object has no attribute 'set_visible'

I've slept just a couple hours, so I'll do further testing (don't really know what to do) later.

Thanks for your efforts!

Ok, I think this package should fix that. It is also built as "armel" architecture, so dpkg shouldn't complain.

Oops. It shouldn't depend on libc. I'll take that out.

It depends on package: python-imaging
Seems it is not listed.
*
On maemo5 packages should be installed on /opt/ not /usr/share

I copied code from git (81622cc3bf421eed87606c589fd3a489e9462b98) and put them to /opt/lightningbeam/ and then it needs also:

Code:

ln -s /opt/lightningbeam/ /usr/share/lightningbeam

I can open menus, but clicking elements doesn't do anything (e.g. Open, close, quit, preferences). Only once I got traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

How much pixels this needs? Check screenshot.

It shouldn't need that many pixels. Maybe hildon scales elements up. What happens if you run it from a debian chroot (anybody who has one)?

No need for debian chroot, disabling finger-ui do the trick

Code:

GTK2_RC_FILES= python ./lightningbeam.py
