Help for delopping Flash Lite applications on N95
Hello Everyone,
i'm new in the delopment of Flashlite application. I have to
develop an application working on my Nokia N95. But, i can't test
all those applications bevor playing them of my device. Flash Lite
3.0 is installed on my Nokia N95. Please can you tell me how can i
test those applications in Device Central? I still having a
question, i want any help about developing with Flash Lite 3.0
using ActionScript 2.0 or more, can you tell me, if there is any
books, online tutorials help to begin developping with it? Maybe
this question is not suitable to this forum, but i need your
answers to be able continuing to develop.
Please excuse my english. English is not my official
language. I can explain myself better in french,german.
Best regards

resource for learning with practical examples all over :) -
Flash Lite applications event handling
Hi
i am new to flash lite. I am basically a J2ME person.I just want to know how this scenario is handled in device.
Flash application is running in the foreground on a Windows mobile device. Suddenly, another application becomes foreground say a call comes then how it will be handled??. Will the flash application knows this information? In midlet we have something like hidenotify shownotify how we can handle this in flashlite ??Hi,
If you're coming from the J2ME world, you'll be disapointed about Flash Lite Capabilities as regards the operating system.
Flash Lite is running in a virtual machine as you know, but unlike Java, only few methods are available to deal with operating system data/events.
"Suddenly, another application becomes foreground say a call comes then how it will be handled??"
As you know Flash was design to run "graphic animations", when Flash Player is put to background, the animation is simply paused.
However, I believe actionscript code is still processed even in background.
"Will the flash application knows this information?"
No way
"In midlet we have something like hidenotify shownotify how we can handle this in flashlite ??"
According to the OS you're using, Windows Mobile or Symbian, you can combine Flash Lite with plugins ...
The basic method is often to communicate with a local server running in dotnet or java and processing operating systems data/events.
Check :
Janus-Flash (dead project I think) for Windows Mobile
Kunerilite for Symbian
Wait Flash Player 10.1 for mobile devices... along with AIR port, Adobe might offer more OS data/event handling in the Flash Player. -

Flash Lite database application - help!
Dear all,
I would like to ask for your help/opinion.
I am a beginner Flash programmer. I am planning to create a Flash Lite application that will provide information on current cultural events (e.g. music, theatre), cinema listings, restaurant recommendations etc.
For this, I need to have a database on my server, which will store all the data (e.g for a music event I need the place, artist name, date and time, description of event, contact details, and maybe an image).
I then want to transfer the data (only updates) to my users' mobile phones, and store them there. This will allow them to update and then be able to browse the information offline.
I am not sure how to do this. I read about Shared Objects, but it seems that these objects do not provide enough space for what I need to do (let's say 1000 records at least at any one time).
Can anyone provide any direction on how to solve this problem? Just to recap, I am looking for a solution to create a Flash Lite database application that will receive cumulative updates from a web server and store the data locally on the mobile.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help you can give me!
AndreasTo handle the synchronization of these items you will need to use plugins, which will restrict your platform reach.
These are two great starting points:
KuneriLite
Nokia Platform Services
Using the solutions above you can download and upload files, and using XML you can load and sync events. Unfortunately it would be quite complex to handle the delta between items, updates and such so I recommend using a dynamic XML feed.
Good Luck!

Hi
New to authoring in Flash CS3 Pro and Flash Lite, I would
appreciate information about deploying a Flash Lite 2x SWF from my
web site to an end user's cell phone. This would assume that the
cell phone would have a Flash Lite 2.1 player installed, therefore
able to view Flash.
I've heard of WAP but am not knowledgeable about its use,
other than to know that some of the free WAP server side programs
like Wap2Go require the ability to use PHP on the web site. My site
uses a Windows server (IIS, version 5) and the ISP does not allow
PHP, instead requiring scripting in ASP. I'm not familiar with ASP,
so, the best arrangement for deploying from my site would be to not
need WAP.
Can most Flash Lite enabled cell phones simply download a SWF
file from a site without need for WAP? Or will deplying Flash to
cell phones depend on getting WAP to work on my site. (I think that
Brew will be too costly an option for me since expenses begin at
$400 and these files are planned as give-away's.)
Any ideas, information will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,

I know that with Flash Lite 1 the softkeys don´t work
when the handset tries to access the internet and so it can´t
get access.
Has this been changed in any Version?
I think flash lite 1.0 and 1.1 support this feature. you can
check it with adobe cs3 device central.
When you select flash lite 1.0 and 1.1 and wallpaper option.
you will get the list of handset .
In other case like flash lite 2.0 2.1 and 3.0 when you select
wallpaper all device list will be disable.

Flash Lite 2 component:XML List Box Lite for Dynamic Flash Lite 2 application
XML ListBox Lite is the Flash Lite UI component lets you
create XML driven dynamic lists for your Flash Lite 2 mobile
applications!
XML ListBox Lite is a Flash component for Flash Lite 2.0
application development for mobile phones. Creating a lightweight
dynamic list box for Flash Lite application becomes as easy as a
snap using this component. Now no more the Flash Lite application
developers need to be worried about creating dynamically populated
list box that will work on nearly every symbian series 60 models
which support Flash Lite 2.0.
XML ListBox Lite comes handy when you plan to create a
dynamic list which is populated with the data sourced from a simple
XML file , such creating a play list for your Flash Lite MP3 Player
application, creating a list for a shopping catalogue etc.
XML ListBoxLite is a complete solutions for creating
customized xml driven dynamic lists in Flash Lite 2 mobile
application development.
The basic features of the component are:
Create Unlimited Number of Tabs: XML ListBoxLite can populate
any number of tabs and provides proper visualization and navigation
of these tabs.
Fully Functional Scrollbars: The scrollbars position ratio is
auto adjusted by the number of tabs that appear in the list, which
gives the users whether any tabs are left in the list to scroll.
Display Tabs as per needs: This list component allows you to
display any number of tabs from the range of 8, 4, 2 and 1, at any
instance. This serves the need for example when you have more text
to display you can choose 4 or 2 tabs so that you need not
compromise on the content side.
Customize the Look and Feel: You can set any color as
parameters for different elements of this list component so that it
will fit your application seamlessly.
Virtually zero time to implement: This component does not
require any extra programming in FlashLite 2.0 Action script to
display your contents. Just update the xml list and it is ready for
use.
Lightweight and User friendly: XMLListBoxLite offers you
great glossy look and advanced features within just 17 KB . The
user experience is also magnetic.

http://esspl.com/flashcomponents/xmllistboxlitehome.aspHello there,
I am have a similar kind of problem. I am trying to run a video on Pocket PC (WM5) using video.play() method on FlashLite 2.1. It works fine in Device Central and my Nokia mobile (symbian OS with default FlashLite 2.1). Video is obviously embedded in FlashLite 2.1 and was originally in *.3gp format.
Can you please help me where I am going wrong or what am I missing ?

Hello,
I'm a Flash/flex newbie and maybe this isn't the right forum for my question, if this is so please tell me where i should post my question.
I want to develop an interactive Flash Lite application (I suppose with Flex this isn't possible) that can run on TV devices (e.g. Sony Bravia, ...). By interactive I mean that a consumer can interact with the application by using the remote control (e.g. enter numbers, ...).
My first question is Flash Lite meant for developing this kind of application?
My second question how can such an application be deployed on multiple TV devices (I suppose using a kind of set-top boxes connected to a server that on its turn is connected to networking devices, switch firewall, with xDSL)? If I need to use a set-top box what kind of set-top box do i need for this since I want broadcast these apps myself and not via an operator?
Thanks for any help on this.
Kind regards,
GuyBased on current press releases the initial hardware will run Flash Lite 3.1 which does not support AS3 or the Flex Framework. Adobe has plans to release a new version in 2010 that has Flash Player 10 support.
My first question is Flash Lite meant for developing this kind of application?
Yes.
My second question how can such an application be deployed on multiple TV devices?
This information is not currently available. The process will most likely be similar to the current mobile distribution: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/distributableplayer/
If I need to use a set-top box what kind of set-top box do i need?
The hardware is not currently available. Vizio plans to release two TVs with hardware support: http://cnettv.cnet.com/vizio-vf552xvt-sv472xvt/9742-1_53-50075277.html -
Hi everyone,
I am loading 4 xmls in my application whose size is not more
than 200 KB. My application is 75 KB.
I am loading these xmls into their respective arrays. I
tested this application on E51 and it is installed on memory card.
When I am manpulating the array contents and send this
content to the server sometimes I am getting memory overflow error.
I have kept track of the memory which I noticed at one point
of time exceeds 2 MB and overflow error occurs.
I tried freeing the xml objects using <xmlObject>=null
after loading the contents into respective arrays, but still the
memory freed is very little.
How do I solve this issue?
Moreover the static and dynamic heap memory for flash lite
applications varies from device to device. Is there any way to
extend the memory or use virtual memory sort of thing when the
application is installed in memory card instead of phone memory
itself.Hi Alex,
I am not "from" Adobe but I have been playing with FL for a
while and I am an ACE. For a Qualcomm specific question you may
want to try thte qualcomm forums (
http://brewforums.qualcomm.com/)
but in the meantime, I can at least tell you what has been working
for me.
Add the code used here to you movie (but remember that adding
this debugger will add to the memory load)::
I hope that helped. The biggest message—test on your
device **(but suprissingly, the numbers on my Flash (not qualcomm)
emulator when targeting my exact device are the same as on the
device. Once it gets below 70% the device throws memory errors.
Also, make sure you do garbage collection (search term in FL help
file) otherwise as your program stays on it could throw errors.
(i.e. After 20 minutes the device could throw a memory error but
not right away. This actually happend to me.).
*p.s. Obviously functions require FL 2.0 and not 1.1, but we
are in the BREW forum. To be backwards compatable to FL 1.1 you
would need a frames based method to measure time.

Hi all,
I am developing a app where I am load the swf in the html page using swfobject
I am able to pass and load the flash vars.
but to perform any action I need to open the application. Is there any way to open the application automatically
any work around?
Thanks in advanceYes, Use Python Runtime , you can package both: Your application and the Python in one .sis installer.
You write the launch code in python to target your application on mobile start and it will launch your flash lite application automatically.

- Is it possible to capture audio from Omnia microphone, through our flash lite app?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
At this time we do not support these features with Flash Lite, we're working on it though!

Hi all
I'm planning to develop a flash lite application with a
connection to a online mySQL database.
I've searched the web endlessly, but unfortunately there is
less than none information about how to's...
My question now is, is it possible to connect via PHP to a
mySQL database online starting from a standalone flash lite
application. The main action that users have to make is a
searchfunction to speficif data on products and display the
results. Users must select a product then to get detailed
information about it.
I've noticed that with the introduction of 2.1 SOAP is also
available to work with, but I don't exactly now what kind of
advantages this brings versus PHP/mySQL.
Hopefully, someone can point me into the right
direction.Yes. You can do this with Flash Lite 1.1. Have Flash Lite do
a loadVariablesNum() call and target a PHP file. Then have the
Flash Lite movie loop until it reads a specific variable form the
PHP file (for instance, myEOF).
Within the PHP, echo your variables out to a name/value pair
such as:
variable1=this&variable2=that&myEOF=yes
Refer to Alessandro's article on the DevNet for more
information.

Flash lite connection to ms sql
how can i read xml data types stored in my ms sql database
into my flash lite application?I did something like that some years ago.
I think taht you can execute your SELECT statements only using OPEN FETCH and CLOSE statements.
If the problem is the access to the DB, I remember a table (but not it's name) where every DB must be listed with relative driver.
Sorry about the tablke name but I really do not remember.
Hope to be helpfully anyway. -
Flash Lite 1.1 Update Content
Hi all,
i'm very2 new for flash lite. I want to create a flash lite
application for nokia 7610 as a completion of my study at my Univ.
But i have no idea how to start it. Is it possible a flash lite
application can be update. For example a news application. Admin
put new news in a website and if a user open the flash application
the latest text or news can be displayed in mobile phone. If the
application do so it the usage of GPRS more cheaper and faster
rather than browsing a WAP site. I really need help and some
tutorial or example. Please..Hi
I have produced a couple of apps that offer live updates from
website content.
The two main constraints, from a flash perspective, you will
find when creating an application such as this are:
1. memory on device for storing the data that you load.
2. Processing power and time to reference the data and
display it.
While XML is fine for web based applications, you might find
the extra memory and processing it requires within FlashLite
applications may be to much. In this case you can use the simpler
LoadVars and name value pairs.
As to whether FlashLite is faster than a standard WAP page?
FlashLite is still going to use the same connection so it will come
down to how well optimised the content is that you are loading.
