http://onrails.org/articles/2007/06/13/websnapshot-a-simple-adobe-air-application en-us 40 Ruby On Rails and related matters. <span class="caps">UPDATE</span>: new version can be found <a href="http://myspyder.net/tools/websnapshot/">here</a> <p/> I converted the <a href="http://onrails.org/articles/2007/04/05/web-snapshot-a-simple-apollo-application">original Apollo WebSnapshot</a> Application to Adobe <span class="caps">AIR</span> using <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder3/">FlexBuilder 3</a>. Now WebSnapshot works on <span class="caps">OSX</span> and Windows. The conversion was straight forward. I changed the root tag of the application from <pre>&lt;mx:ApolloApplication&gt;</pre> to <pre>&lt;mx:WindowedApplication&gt;</pre> <p>Then I used the new File.browseForSave method to show the save dialog when clicking on the thumbnail. No need anymore for the workaround that was required for this before. One thing I didn&#8217;t find out (yet) is how to set the file type and default filename in the save dialog. Any pointer is welcome!</p> <p>Download it now: <a href="http://onrails.org/files/WebSnapshot0.2.air">WebSnapshot0.2.air</a> (right click and &lsquo;Download Linked File&rsquo;)</p> <p><img src="http://onrails.org/files/20070613_websnapshot_osx.gif" border="0" height="270" width="500" alt="20070613_websnapshot_osx.gif" /></p> <p><img src="http://onrails.org/files/20070613_websnapshot.gif" border="0" height="285" width="500" alt="20070613_websnapshot.gif" align="" /></p> <p>To run the application you need to <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html">Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR)</a>.

Select &amp;ldquo;Adobe Apollo 1.0 Alpha1&amp;rdquo; to uninstall the Apollo runtime. 4. Click the Change/Remove button.</code></pre> <p>To uninstall the runtime on Macintosh:</p> <pre><code>1.

Set the file object&#8217;s path to what you want as the default, and that will be respected by the dialog box. Like this:</p> <pre><code>file = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("mySubDirectories/myDefaultFilename.ext");</code></pre> <p>That&#8217;s it.</p> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 03:38:48 +0000 urn:uuid:913cc497-58c8-4423-9fca-7738d1bee992 http://onrails.org/articles/2007/06/13/websnapshot-a-simple-adobe-air-application#comment-3491 <p>Inside the .air file, which is a zip like flanture mentioned, you will only find the compiled version not the sources. You can find most of the significant code in the original blog post, and I will also release the code with the next release (0.3).
