Flex & Flash Lite

Is it possible to develop a single Flex application for web
and mobile? Or will development for Flash Lite require
re-compilation of my Flex app for web with a Flash Lite compiler?
I hope my question was clear, being from India English isn't
my first language. Thanks,
- Sri

Flex 2 requires the Flash Player 9.
Flash Lite 3 (current Version) only supports most Flash 8
content.
So the simple answer is:
no, you can´t develop a single Flex application for both
because Flash Lite 3 didn´t support Flex 2 nor Flash 9
content.

Using Flex 2 SDK to compile for Flash Lite 2.0

As I understand Flash Lite 2.0 is a stripped down version of
Flash 7 (that is ActionScript 2.0) with a couple of things added
for mobile specific things. But is it possible to use the free Flex
2 SDK to compile a SWF that will run on Flash Lite 2.0 (or Flash 7
for that matter).

I'm not familiar with Flash Lite 2.0, so maybe I shouldn't be
answering this, but I've used the SDK for several projects and I
believe that like Flex Builder it requires at least Flash 8. So, if
FL is comparable to Flash 7, I doubt if it would work. Just my
humble opinion, but hope it helps.

Flex vs. Flash Lite

hi all,
If I want to develop mobile applications, Flash Lite is the
unique way, or can I build an application just using flex?
regards

Flex applications require FlashPlayer 9, so the quick answer
is no.

Flash 10.1 makes Flash Lite redundant?

Hi everyone.
I've been researching ways to create content for mobile devices.
It seems Flash Lite is a really good option to make both rich applications (stand-alone and internet) for mobile phones specifically.
Flash Lite is what I am developing with right now and I can distribute applications to Windows Mobile and Symbian devices.
Now I've read that Flash 10.1 will be on nearly every new phone out there soon (except iPhone, but who cares).
Does that mean we can develop in Flash (with AS3) for stand-alone applications as well (instead of Flash Lite)?
I've never found any real answers to my questions when I browse the internet about stand-alone applications, a lot seems to be focused on internet applications.
Basically I want to try and figure out what the best method of development would be to create stand-alone applications for mobile phones (any phone except iPhone, although it would be a plus if iPhone could be included ofcourse).
The Openscreenproject is awesome and hopefully leads to a standard (probably including Flash player).
Another thing I found is project Capuchin, where Flash and Java work together to create rich applications.
Flex and AIR look interesting, but will they be interesting enough for mobile development (in the future)?
So to sum it up in a single question:
If I want to develop stand-alone applications and target as many devices as possible, what should I be using now and what should I be using in the near future?
Hope to get some reactions, this is part of my graduation thesis and I'm drawing a blank.
Thanks in advance.

The only phone operating system that I have seen confirmed for flash 10.1 so far has been WebOS. I know there have been rumors for android but havent seen anything confirming it yet for sure. I think it will be a wait and see type of situation to see how phones are going to work with flash. I see it coming when new cell phones come out with those faster processors (snapdragon) so they will actually be able to support it. Unforutanely though theres barely any of those phones out right now other than T-mobiles HD2 and its android twin the Sprint EVO. I think the iphone doesnt want flash because it will lose revenue if those applications are available through places other than its app store.

Flash lite signature grabber

Hi there,
I want to create a Flash lite signature grabber.
Could someone give me a head start?
I really need to be able to draw to a canvas and save the image using a png encoder to send binary data to a coldfusion server. I can do the coldfusion side and flex 3 and AS3, but since this is Flash lite I'm rahter stumped

There is no Flash Player available for Blackberry
devices.

Newbe Flash Lite 2.0 developer

Hey
I just bought a new phone, a nokia 6110 and saw that it had
Flash Lite 2.0 pre-installed. I have done some Flash development
before in Flex for as3.0. I have been reading up on Flash Lite 2.0
and it seams like it's equal to Flash 7? Also when the new Flash
Lite 3.0 is released is it gonna work on my phone?
Can I develop for Flash lite by just using as2.0 in the Flex
IDE or do I have to get and use Adobe Flash CS3? Is there a free
compiler than can compile for Flash Lite 2.0, similar to the free
Flex SDK?
Thanks
Zarathrusta

Flash Lite 2.0 is close to Flash 7 but not quite all features
(no FLV for example). Flash Lite also has a number of features
unique to mobile that are not part of the desktop PC player such as
device integration (fscommand2) and device video/sound.
A public beta developer version of Flash Lite 3.0 is
currently available for Nokia series 60 v3 phones only. I dont
recall the OS for 6110, you can check forum.nokia.com to find out
if this is a series 60 phone or not.
You can use any software tool that compiles to Flash 7
compatible SWF and run the SWF in the Flash Lite player. However,
there are special features of Flash Lite you can only develop for
using the Flash IDE. To my knowledge these are not yet part of
FlexIDE and other free compilers.
So if you want to experiment you should be able to use
FlexIDE and compile to Flash 7 or lower for compatibility with
Flash Lite 2.0 player. But for a commercial level releases you
should consider using the Flash Lite IDE and Device Central for
emulation and publishing.

Tools for Flash Lite 3 development.

I'm new to flash development. So i'm looking for tools to start development for flash lite 3 (i'm not interested in 4th version).
There are a loot tools available:
* Flash Pro CS 5
* Flash Builder 4
* Flex SDK?
What is the best option to start?

Hi,
You can't handle them. Its the default behavior from FL.
You can use KuneriLite or SWF2Go+PyS60 or APIBridge for loading external resources and checking for errors.

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 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

Getting Big Headache, What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7

Hello, I am asking questions about the two similar yet different programs for Pocket PC version only:
1) Which came first, Flash Lite 3.1 or Flash Player 7?
2) If I have both in my Pocket PC, will there be product incompatibility?
3) What is the difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7.
4) I have a Flash Lite 3.1 but uninstall information says "Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera Mobile", did you releaase this? Is this an illegal copy? A developer's copy?
*I don't know exactly where I got it, but I got it from the HTC developer's forum: XDA-developers.com
*I also use Opera mobile, a web browser for Pocket PC's.
5) What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera? Is the only difference is that Flash Lite Supports everything flash related, while Flash Lite Opera supports only flash in opera?
Hi, I don't expect all answers, but I hope someone or someone from adobe support can clear some things up for me.

The program under my "remove programs" list is specifically called "Adobe Flash Lite for Opera". The XDA forums people said along time ago that it was Flash Lite, and kept calling it Flash Lite, and not Flash Player 7.
Now what about this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
The table shows the differences between FP 7 SDK, FL 2.1, and FL 3.1. And it's quite obvious that FL 3.1 has way more features than Flash Player 7. What does SDK mean? And why are you telling me FP 7 has more features?
With this information, can you or anyone else provide any more details and clarification?

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,

Problem with Flash Lite in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic-Problema con Flash Lite en Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

I've got a problem playing videos in YouTube with my 5800. Recently I updated my version of Flash Lite to 3.1, from that day I can't see correctly videos on YouTube, when the the indicator of the bar reaches 1/4 of the totallity of the bar, the sound and image stop, but the indicator continues playing. If i want to see completly a video I have to put the indicator in the start of the bar and wait the load again. Some idea to fix this problem?
Sorry for my English level.
Tengo un problema reproduciendo vídeos en YouTube con mi 5800. Hace poco actualicé la versión del Flash Lite a la 3.1 y desde entonces no puedo ver correctamente vídeos de YouTube, cuando el indicador de la barra alcanza 1/4 de la distancia total, se detienen el sonido y la imagen, pero el indicador continúa como si siguiera reproduciendo, es decir para el vídeo es como si siguiera reproduciendo pero ni el sonido ni la imagen continúan., para ver los vídeos tengo que llevar el cursor de carga al principio y esperar la carga de nuevo, es un problema realmente molesto. ¿Alguna idea para solucionarlo?

Hi,
I have Nokia 5800XM as well. The YouTube videos are playng fine for me. my FW is 40.0.005 with FL3.1
Maybe you need to update your device's firmware and FL version.\
Start Device Manager application on your 5800XM from menu or dialing *#0000#. It will check for new updates and ask you to download them. Remember that these updates are in MBs. I'd recommend update using a WiFi connection or flat-rate data plan.

when I try to do that, visualization isn't good, i've installed
Adobe flash lite 2.1 and MFlashPlayer 7 to visualize my SWF, but
doesn't work, do I still need another program?, or what can I do?,
I exported from Captivate 3 that SWF file compatible with Flash 7,
do i need to make it compatible with flash lite 2.1, do i need to
export to Flash CS3, and then export from there to flash lite 2.1?,
thanks,

See if this helps:-

There are several things in Captivate 2 that are not viewable
in Flash Lite.
The above article should help you create a project file that
can be viewed
on your mobile devices.

Focus manager is not working in Flash lite 4.0

Hi,
I am working on development of UI components in flash lite 4.0. And i am using Focusmanger class to handle focus of all components present in the stage. I don't have any issues when the component is running in flash player 10. But i am getting some issues if i test the same component in deceive central.
Eg: I will place 2 combobox component on a stage. Focus first combobox and click enter list items will open.
I will try to navigate between the combo item. At the last combo item focus is going outside the component. As per the requirement focus should not go outside until user clicks enter again. Looking for valuable solution for this.

There is no way to know what will change in the future. This
is the solution that works now. It will probably remain in place
for the reasonable future.

How to load a audio stream in flash lite 3.0

var music:Sound = new Sound();
music.loadSound("http://38.101.195.5:8000;Stream.mp3",true);
I am not able to load the stream.
Please help me to play the stream

Hello kkc_mca.
As I know, unlike desktop PC player, there is no progressive load capability with Flash Lite.
May be there is one option for FL3 is to stream a mp3 from Flash media server or compatible server. You might also be able to use the FL2 video object to stream audio only 3gp or aac audio from RTSP server.
I can not say this is proper way but hope you will be succeed.
