Desktop Widgets are back - and better than before!
On October 1st, Adobe released Beta 2
of their AIR product. Just last night, we performed an update which
allows any of our AS3 widgets to be run on the desktop via Adobe AIR.
We’ve
made it super simple to get the AIR product. Just click on the "copy
me" on any of our AS3 widgets, and then choose the "AIR" option. If
AIR isn’t running on your machine, we’ll prompt you to either start it
or to install the product. Once you’ve installed AIR, you should be
able to download any of our AS3 widgets, essentially with one click.
We’ve embedded one of our AS3 widgets below for those of you that want to try running them on your desktop:
Also,
for those of you that just want to install AIR and our widget manager
without downloading a particular widget, just click the "Install Now"
link below:
var so = new ymSWFObject(’http://ct.yourminis.com/desktop/swfs/badge.swf’, ’sandbox1′, ‘217′, ‘180′,’appname=yourminis%20widget%20manager&appurl=http://ct.yourminis.com/desktop/yourminis%20air.air&airversion=1.0.M5&buttoncolor=000000&messagecolor=000000&imageurl=http://ct.yourminis.com/images/yourminisbadge.jpg’,8);
so.addParam(”wmode”, “transparent”);
so.addParam(”allowScriptAccess”,”always”);
so.write(’sandbox1div’);
Give it a shot and as always, let us know your thoughts…
