What is "ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable qnx.display::IowWindow is not defined"?

Question

I am trying to display dialog in Flex for Blackberry application.

I have tried following code but it gives me:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable qnx.display::IowWindow is not defined

this error at line number 8 i getting stuck with that.

So help me or give another way to display dialog in Flex

1. var myDialog:AlertDialog = new AlertDialog();
2. myDialog.title = "Dialog";
3. myDialog.message = "This is a small alert dialog";
4. myDialog.addButton("OK");
5. myDialog.addButton("Cancel");
6. myDialog.dialogSize = DialogSize.SIZE_SMALL;
7. myDialog.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, alertButtonClicked);
8. myDialog.show(IowWindow.getAirWindow().id);

Find this thread and read the comment also.

IowWindow class is only available on the playbook simulator or real device (not on the desktop).

This means that you have not declared the variable IowWindow. YOu first have to declare it with var and then initialize it somewhere.

var IowWindow = new SomeWindow();

Actually QNX-components aren't Flex-ready per se. You have to apply some hacks to use them in a Flex app: Using qnx.ui.picker.Picker in mobile Flex Hero project for Blackberry Playbook
