I’m proud to announce the beta release of my first Drop.io desktop AIR application called Droplet. I built the application using my own Drop.io AS3 library. The application is very simple and offers the fastest way to upload a single file to Drop.io. Just open the application, choose your file, and Droplet uploads your file to a generate drop. Once uploaded, you have the option to upload another file (to a brand new drop) or view the drop you just created with your file!

If Droplet gains enough support, I would love to see further renditions of the application to allow more support for other Drop.io features. Until then, be sure to leave your thoughts in a comment below!

System Requirements:

• Adobe AIR Runtime 1.5 or higher
  • Will run on Windows, Mac, or Linux

I had a hard time finding a simple intro to using the NativeMenu, so here is some code for a basic Hello World NativeMenu demo.

import flash.display.*;
import flash.desktop.*;

stage.nativeWindow.menu = new NativeMenu();

var menuItem:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem("Hello!");

var subMenu:NativeMenu = new NativeMenu();
var btn1:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem("World");
btn1.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, itemClicked);
subMenu.addItem(btn1);
menuItem.submenu = subMenu;

stage.nativeWindow.menu.addItem(menuItem);

function itemClicked(e) {
   trace("You Selected: ", e.target);
}
