AIR APIs are very robust and powerful. Along with platform independence, They also offer many exciting new possibilities for Flash, Flex & other Web developers.
So, I made this funny simple Screensaver like application named “SWFMyScreen” to demostrate some of the cool features of the AIR. Using this application, user will be able to set any Local or Remote SWF as Screensaver which will be displayed in fullscreen after given number of idle minutes.
Features:
1) Chosee your favourite SWF Photo albums or any other SWF animations as your Screensaver
2) Set the idle time-out to display Screensaver
3) Configure the background color
-> Click here to download application
-> Click here to download source
-> Click here to install AIR ( Adobe Integrated Runtime )
AIR Features demonstrated in this application:
1) Tracking user presense
2) Automatic login during system start-up
3) System tray icon with context menu
4) Full screen AIR application
5) Transparent window with custom chrome
6) Drag a window that does not have title bar
7) Browse dialog for file selection

Namaste:
Srinivas Annam, I would love to speak with you; about an AIR to Desktop app, much like your AIR to Screensaver app’. Do you think its possible, through AIR, to RSS a PDF straight to the desktop; so that the PDF becomes the desktop background.
Is it possible that a live PDF could actually serve as a desktop background.
If not, how about an AIR app (PDF displayer) that covers the entire desktop (in vector sharpness).
Holla back.

Hi Rafiki,
The Approach 1 ( Setting as background wallpaper ) is not possible by using Adobe AIR alone.
But, we can definitely do the Approach 2 ( Full Screen, Vector clartiy PDF )
Please send an email to my personal ID (toosweetvasu@gmail.com) for further discussion.
