Flash Lite Apps on TV devices

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,
Guy

Based 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

Web simulation of a flash lite app

Hi all:
I have a flash lite application and I would like to show it
on my personal web page, does anyone knows about a way or a
simulator of flash lite apps in order to embbed it.

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

Flash Lite 3 Update for Device Central CS3

Is anyone else having a problem with this update?
Flash® Lite 3 Update for Device Central CS3
The Flash Lite 3 Update for Device Central enables testing of
Flash® Lite™ 3 content in Device Central, provides
important bug fixes, and includes new and updated device profiles.
I get a note about it every time I have an Adobe update, but
it will not install. It tells me to reinstall the product, but I
have download of CS3 Web Design Premium and I don't have a downlaod
for Device Central CS3.
Any ideas?

Is Flash Lite app compatible with MS Marketplace

Now that WM6.5 has been officially released, I am wondering if a Flash Lite app packaged by the Mobile Packager would pass the MS guidelines for applications to be listed on Marketplace. Have anyone tried it out yet?

Hi,
MS terms for their marketplace are designed to control the use of other web runtimes, including Flash. They state that only Windows managed code will be accepted, which rules out our binaries.
You may want to look at developer.open-plug.com for their ELIPS tool which produces nice applications using Adobe Flex tools.

Flash lite app

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

Downloading Flash Lite Apps

Hi all,
we've developed and sourced some Flash Lite Applications and
want to deliver them via WAP Portal. Unfortunately the applications
running after accessing the WAP- URL. There is no possibility to
download or save them to the handset. Some handsets offer the
ability to save them as background (e.g. Sony Ericsson). I've
tested it with a NOKIA N70. Is there any option/possibility, the
application can be saved permanently to the handset?
Thanks for feedback and kind regards!
Sven

Ciao,
you might need to create an installer for symbian or another
packing for SE.
in any case your target device should not be the N70, which
is good for testing (I have one too)
From a WAP portal you can detect the mobile phone model and
based on that you cna select the appropriate file to be installed.

How do I install Flash Lite 3.1 to a Windows Mobile Device in Australia

Hi All,
I am just an end user not a developer. We have a mixture of devices (Palm Treo Pro, HTC Touch HD) that we want to run a Fash Version 8 website. How do we install Flash Lite OTA on these devices to view the flash content?
We are in Australia.
thanks

I had some success installing on a real Mobile 5 device [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5344195]
There is a link to a doc on the main download page, item 5 under How to Install. [http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30ea.jsp] I used this for the real device, Treo 700w. Did not try it with an emulator.
The support looks to be an emulator rather than a JVM per say. But then again I could be wrong on that. I too had poked around looking for a JVM, CrEme, J9, etc..
I do have a commercial app installed on the Treo that uses IBM's J9, which is seems requires a contact with a sales person to get ahold of. I had hoped to find something that might clue me in on how to "hook up" my own J2ME app with the J9 installed by the commercial package. But I've pretty much decided to get a real J2ME handset rather than continue to waste my time hacking up something with WM. Now the question is which one makes a good reference platform?

Flash Lite 3 For Device...

TAKES FOREVER TO INSTALL!
I work for a publishing company where our CS3 rollout is in full swing.
When we open CS3, after install, for the first time, we get prompted to download and update the entire suite.
As soon as it gets to this Flash Lite 3 install, it just hangs.
10 minutes at least!!
Do we really need to install this Flash Lite? Or can we bypass it?
Thanks!
Marc

OTA of Flash Lite Player doesn't work for HTC Touch Pro 2

When I tried to run a Flash Lite app in HTC Touch Pro 2, it asked for Flash Lite player to run it. I clicked Yes. It returned a message: Adobe Flash Lite is not available for this device. OTA installation didn't work in this case. I then manually installed the standalone player and it installed successfully. My operator is Telstra in Australia.

Hi,
Your device will not be detected because it is unsupported by the detection server. Of course the manual installation is possible but right now we are certifying devices that can be supported.
You can see the supported devices here, needless to say however we are working on a plan to expand this set:

Flash Lite 2.1 for WM5 Activation Issue

I followed the instructions for installing and activating the
Flash Lite 2.1 for WM5 on my Motorola Q smartphone. But every time
I launch the Flash Player Lite application it says I haven't
activated it yet. I went to the site 3 times and entered my
information, but it hasn't changed the activation error. Any
suggestions?

Hi,
Are you still seeing this issue? Please let us know.

Flash lite 2.x support for nokia n80?

I downloaded and installed the Flash Lite 2.1 standalone
player for the Nokia N80 from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flashlite2%5F1%5Fsymbian%5Fdownload
I am able to run Flash Lite 1.1 SWFs fine but get
"installation not supported" for 2.x SIS files and "unable to open.
file corrupted" messages for 2.x SWFs. These files run fine on my
Nokia 6682 handset.
Is 2.0 or 2.1 supported for the N80? I noticed that it
doesn't appear to be through the Adobe Device Central CS3 but the
Flash Lite Player download page implies that it is.
Thanks.

Just tried installing Flash Lite 2.1 Standalone Player S60
V2.0 FP2 and S60 V2.0 FP3 and was not allowed to install either on
the handset so I think the one I downloaded and installed is
correct. Flash Lite Player 2 is not installed on this phone.
Any other possible reason why the Flash Lite apps won't run?
Does the phone need a firmware or other update? Also, I am by
sending the SWFs via bluetooth as SMS messages--that shouldn't
matter, should it? Or do I need to go the long route by
transferring it via usb?

Flash lite and Memory

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.
Best,

Access to Samsung Omnia Accelerometer and Microphone with Flash Lite?

Hello everybody,
I' like to ask a few things:
- Is it possible to access the Omnia accelerometer through our flash lite application?
- 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!

Quality and performance degradation when standalone Flash Lite has been sent to back

Hi forum,
I'm new to Flash Lite 4 on Symbian 3, I want to start working on a new app and am currently deciding if Flash Lite 4 is a good choice. I have just ran into my first problem: When I send my native Flash Lite 4 app (either running from an swf or started from a c++ stub --which obviously does the same, but I thought I should try it--) to the background (because f.i. a call comes in), and it comes back, the screen quality has degraded (as seen in textfields, it looks as if stage quality has gone to MEDIUM), the app runs more choppily, and, even worse, things drawn with the drawing API are drawn in a different way! (???) Line caps & miter settings appear to be lost. This is on a Nokia C7-00.
This probably has to do with the new performance optimizations in mobile flash, but is there any way to avoid this, or to reset my flash lite app to "normal" state? Is there an event I can listen to?
Thanks in advance,
Bas Horsting

Here are the before and after screenshots.
