SearchCoders/Dashboard

The Flex developer community is pushing new ground every day. One way to keep up with the community is to install the SearchCoders/Dashboard, which makes extensive use of Adobe AIR capabilities. This Flex based application has many brilliant, community-focused features including:

  • Integrated support for threaded discussion forums, chat rooms, job boards, RSS feeds, and notes
  • Transparent, dynamic windows with drop shadows
  • Customized window chrome
  • A very advanced search system
  • Extended functionality through a user login system

The search functionality is particularly useful for finding help about a particular conversation you might be interested in. For example, you can search for all posts from a particular person or a domain such as adobe.com. This is a terrific example of the type of a desktop application that can be targeted at a certain community and would have been prohibitively expensive to build with traditional desktop application building environments.

One other unique aspect to this application is that it includes a tasteful advertising component built into the user interface (see Figure 8). As Adobe AIR developers continue to build more advanced applications, it’ll be interesting to see how they support business models such as subscriptions and advertising.

The SearchCoder/Dashboard AIR application includes a tasteful advertising component.

Adobe AIR Native Window Animation Example

This is the first of many examples that I will be posting here over the next couple of days which were built while riding 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. The example creates a new native window which animates around the main window in a carousel motion. Note the excellent performance of animating native windows in AIR.

You will notice that the code is setup to accept additional native windows so that you can create a carousel of multiple native windows. The only problem is that z-indexing of native windows is not supported in the beta 1 of AIR. It will be rolled out soon though. Click on the image below to get the AIR file and the source FLA.

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.

Adobe AIR SpringyWindows Example

Here is a fun little example that I made tonight that applies spring physics to 4 native windows. This example was created using Flash CS3 and Grant Skinner’s AIR panel. The main application window spawns 3 new windows and then all of their positions are continuously updated using an EnterFrame event. Once launching the app, move the window with the blue background around the desktop to see the springy action.


You can download the AIR file as well as the source FLA file.

TwittAIR application updated

Since the beta version of Adobe AIR (Apollo) was recently released, I decided to update my Twitter application so that it runs in the new runtime. There may still be some issues due to the flaky Twitter API, but it is still a good example of using custom chrome. I have also uploaded the full source so that you can see how it was put together.

What's new:
Major performance gains
Video streaming performance more than doubles in Flash Media Server 3, allowing more streams and users per server.

A new verification feature protects SWF files from being reused, modified, or hosted in unauthorized locations. The new plug-in architecture can also be used to create custom authorization adaptors, such as validation with an external LDAP server.
