Badger is a Flex application built on AIR that enables developers to easily create install badges for their applications (see Figure 1). The application was created by Grant Skinner for Adobe Systems, Inc.

* Visual configuration: Preview the badge and make any necessary changes.
* Simple cut-and-paste deployment: Export and cut and paste the code to your web page.
