The goal of this sample is to read an iCal (ics) file, to convert it to an ActionScript model and to display it using the Calendar component available in ILOG Elixir 2.0 beta 1.

This sample has been demonstrated by Christophe Jolif during Adobe MAX US & Adobe MAX Europe.

This application does not support the complete specification but it reads the events of a calendar to be able to display them. Don’t come back to me saying that this or this feature is not supported !

Note that the time zones defined in the ics file are ignored so the dates should be defined in local or UTC time.

This sample takes form of an AIR application. You can drag an iCal file from your file explorer and drop it on this application or add a file using the “Add” button in the right panel.

To install and run the application, you will need the latest AIR runtime available at http://get.adobe.com/air/.

This sample is using the Darkroom skin (by Juan Sanchez), one of the great skins from scalenine.com (not included in the sources, to copy into src/resources/style).
