Awesome job! Both the AIR and Windows gadgets are working flawlessly on my computer. Looking forward to the Android app version!

Ok. I believe I've found the problem, and an update should be ready soon; but I do at least want to take a look at resampling options before releasing.

The problem is thus: in the iconURL attribute, Turbine provides the direct path to the icon image, that automatically redirects to a "?" if that image isn't found. However, since this is probably done via mod rewrite, as opposed to a server side script, it will generate a 404 error in the process.

Now, most web browsers are pretty lenient when it comes to that error - even if the server kicks back such an error, the browser will still dutifully puke out whatever content is generated. Fortunately for the purposes of logic and sense, and unfortunately for the system Turbine has set up, apps see a 404 error, and rightfully assume that it doesn't exist.

So long story short, what was happening is that an item existed with an iconURL, and that icon didn't exist - but rather than just go with the flow and use the generated "?" icon, it freaked.

Thankfully, there's a much more reliable and code-friendly alternative that still uses Turbine's servers alone - a server-side script (php) that generates an item's icon by id. While I was using this system if an item didn't exist, the next update will use this system entirely.

OK lets get the info ....

Adobe Air 2.6.0.19140 up to date

Just wanted to say that I'm looking into this, and currently attempting to recreate the problem, so I can work on finding a solution.

So far - this has been what I've tried.

• updated Adobe AIR to the latest version
• removed all characters, flipped back, then readded them
• changed the name of the local database file
• removed all characters, exited the app, then opened it again to readd characters

So far no issues - I will attempt to install it on a different machine, and see if my results change, but for now: please let me know the character/server it hangs on. Not only will this let me get a bit closer to seeing things from your end, but it will also make it so that I can completely remove the possibility of character data being the culprit.

To be honest, the visual studio error doesn't make much sense - storage is done with SQLLite, and nothing at all comes up when searching for Adobe AIR with PDB.

You are not alone in this. I am having the same issue. What I can say is its a bug. Give D_U some time and I am sure he will get a fix pushed out. So please check back soon

edit: Please take into account as the version # suggests it is a beta. Betas will have bugs. And w/ programming things are never a spit and shine polish... LOL just ask Micro$oft...

edit2: @ D_U used the debugger function in Visual Studio 2010. and getting "Cannot find or open the PDB file" Hope this helps

I am having a problem with this. I DLed AIR and installed that. I installed LotROChar and ran it. I added two characters and both were green.

Now my problem. When I continued, the little blue bar at the bottom started moving with 1of 2 above it and the character name. It gets halfway and stops. And it never moves past that point. And I cannot do anything else except close the program. If I restart it the same thing happens.

Am I doing something wrong, and how can I correct it?

Edit: I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but the character info must be saved in another place because when I reinstalled the same character was there and the same problem occurs.
