So one of the main things which we want to do for our app is to have a barcode scanner working. In flash builder we have already managed to get a QR reader working but thats all it does.
Here is where I got the code and tutorial on how to get a QR reader working.

This works perfectly fine and Matt said that he can hook it up so that once you scan something successfully it will go onto another page instead of launching what it does at the moment.
Finding a barcode scanner though is actually a lot harder. Between me and Joss we have decided that he is going to focus on getting the art working and I am going to work on the flash builder side of our app.
We have found a tutorial which we think should work.

After having a chat with Richard and Ryan they both said that this should work.
All of the Network Engineering students said that we should move to eclipse because they know to use it and they already have a barcode scanner working in that.
I have decided that I am doing to try and get this barcode scanner in flash builder working but if I cant get it working by monday (27th May) then we are going to move onto eclipse. Eclipse uses Java which is something that I havent used before but I think I would be able to pick it up withen a couple of days
