Here is another useful little app for web developers. How many times have you come to place a Flash SWF onto your webpage only to have to wrestle with SWFObject (you are all using SWFObject aren’t you?). Well try this OBO Site GatherAIR for size.

This AIR application takes a SWF file that you drag onto it and then after choosin ga HTML template it will spit all of the files out into a directory you specify complete with all the SWFObject code and SWFFit code if you choose to select it.

It ships with three HTML templates but you can also create your own custom templates following the instructions here.

Design eye

Custom chrome is used on this AIR application with a large area for dragging your SWF file onto. The text inputs are a little small and the tabbing order is all wrong!

Personally I would have added an action button to kick off the process instead of when you release the SWF file on drag.

Technical eye

OBO Site GatherAIR is built using Adobe Flash with of course Adobe AIR.

Summary

This could save someone a great deal of time. Guaranteed to be seen on those top lists of AIR apps for designers etc soon.

    Thank you very much kind write up!

    And also, thank you for pointing out some technical difficulties. I’ll be fixing the tabbing order as soon as I can.

    regards,
    Devon
