AIR + Napster + Yahoo = Hair Metal Clownboattery!
Last Tuesday I gave a user group presentation on AIR Windows, Menus, and System Tray. Although I got a chance to post the slides last week, it took me a little while to get a hold of a Mac and verify my sample application’s functionality. Well…with a couple little code mods it’s working how I wanted on the Mac.
Couple notes on the sample app:
- I enabled view source
- This app will require you to input a Yahoo Developer Network AppID before you can use it…sorry, I’m already using my 5,000 queries a day.
- If you want to see the bounce() functionality on MacOS, you need to CTRL+Click the DockIcon and select HIDE from the Dock Menu (It’s running on a 2 second timer)
- I am not an artist…hence the 5th grader quality icons, graphics, and styling
- Disclaimer: This is just an example app and was slapped together. It should not be construed as a best practices effort
- Disclaimer: I’m not sure if what I’m doing to embed Napster is legit…but you know it’s just an educational research endeavour.
- AFTER INSTALL: To invoke hair metal, use the Window, Application, Dock, or SystemTray menu
Anyway, you can get the app with this embedded AIR badge below, and if you still wanted to see the slides, they can be found here:

Enjoy, and rock, rock till you drop!
