Adobe AIR SpitEmOut Video Example

This is another cool example I made during my time on the On AIR Bus Tour. This example was built using Flash CS3 and requires Grant Skinner’s AIRPanel extension in order to compile the application. It also uses the Tweener AS3 library to accomplish the animation so make sure to download that before trying to compile it. This example allows you to drop an FLV file onto the player to begin playing it back. You can then click on the camera icon to spit out a screen shot onto your desktop. Then you can right-click on the screenshot in order to save it as a PNG file.

The application is actually a full maximized, transparent application rather than a bunch of native windows. This is because it is impossible to rotate native windows. It also doesn’t resize the player when a video larger than 320×240 is dropped on. Click on the image below to get the AIR file and the source FLA.
