Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are Flash, usability and Beastie Boys.

I’m currently working on an AIR app that will load a SWF, take screen grabs at a selected interval and then load the screen grabs back in and allow you to scrub back and forth through them.
The main purpose for this is that many things my coworkers and I do at RT is entirely dynamic and code based with very little on the timeline. This app allows for selecting a specific frame in any SWF, code or timeline based, and for playing back the animation many times repeatedly.
A side benefit to the app is that when creating backup GIFs for banner ads, if you run your banner through this app, will spit out cropped captures of your banner ad and may speed up the most boring part of banner ad creation.
If you’re feeling daring you can install this alpha version of SWF Capture and see how it works
I’ve got a lot of features left to build in but this does the basics.

Also, if you’re interested I’ve got my Flapture FLV Capture toolavailable too. It automates one screen grab per FLV for a folder full of FLVs and was how I learned the basics of AIR.
