Sencha Architect Ext Js 4.0 Preview Blank Screen

[wiseguy12851]

I have spent considerable time trying to get Sencha Architect for Ext JS 4 to make an app that shows when visited in a browser. I have even gone down to dragging a window onto the canvas and a label just to try and get something to show up but when previewing it it's just a solid error-less white screen.

1. I have ensured that AutoCreateViewPort and InitialView are set accordingly
2. I have ensured that the paths in settings are correct and double verified the links load correctly in app.html
3. I have ensured it's on a server, to be on the safe side I have tried it on 3 different servers each one also a different operating system and tried viewing from many different browsers (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc...)

Basically I go to preview it in whatever browser, it appears to be loading and then completes it loading but nothing is ever outputted to the screen, just remains a blank white screen. No errors are reported anywhere (Such as from firebug, Firefox's Error Console, etc...) and I am unable to find help anywhere (Google, Youtube, Forums, etc...).

I finally have given up and resorted back to hand-coding everything. Any help is appreciated as I'd love to use this program.

A window as the top level view? You should be setting autoShow to true.

Thanks, that was the issue, it wasn't told to auto show the created window.

What is the recommended or usual top-level object in an Ext JS application

I too am getting a black screen with no error message on both Safari and Chrome. Trying to use Architect to build a Sencha Touch 2.1 application. Forgive me, I am an absolute beginner and not a developer. Where does one find a window? All I can find are containers. And in containers I have not yet found any place where "autoplay" is an option.

Window is part of Ext JS, not Sencha Touch.

I'd suggest creating a new thread with information about what you've done and if possible a sample project that illustrates your problem.

It's definitely me. I was able to download and open some of the Simple Examples, and I can view them.
