What is Flash Lite?

I saw Flash Lite listed as a trial download on the Adobe
site, but I can't
find more info on it anywhere else on their site.
Can someone fill me in on the details of Flash Lite?

No I didn't do a search? I just browsed through products >
Flash . . . and
nothing about Flash Lite.

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 - what phones & network

I have been trying to get a straight answer on what phones
work with Flash Lite in the US today.
I heard that Verizon supports Flash Lite (or will?) but their
website has absolutely no mention of Flash Lite.
I read some articles about some phones that support flash
lite, but there is no mention of what providers those phones work
with.
Anyone have information?

Here is some information about flash capable phones in US
market, organized by network operator.

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,

Captivate and Flash lite 2.1 for Mobile

Hi, I need to visualize a SWF file in my Intermec CN3 HH, but
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,

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.

Flash Lite XML Driven Gallery Simple Question

Hello Flash Lite Gurus',
Someone Named "Mr. Samir K. Dash;" did a wonderful tutorial regarding Flash Lite XML driven Photo Gallery, and I have just a small question:
1> I changed the attributes schema of the xml as attached and noticed that it is not working, and I wonder what could be the reason (please see the attached XML new attribute schema, I didn't change fields names, I just changed the way the attributes' schema looks like).
The link to the tutorial is the following:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/xml_photo_gallery.html
Looking forward to your help
best regards
Talal

As I look at your modified XML file, you need to make major changes in the script.
You have changed the attributes to become child nodes. So, you will need to use firstChild.nodeValue or childNodes[i].nodeValue everywhere.

Serious bugs in Flash Lite 2.1

I've noticed some pretty serious problems when when working
with Flash Lite 2.1 on on a device, on a device simulator, and on
the Flash 8 emulator. There were no Object watches or any other
kind of behind-the-scenes mayhem when I found these bugs. Here's
just a small list of issues that have gone wrong (among other
things):
1. The Number data type is flaky at best. When doing a
trace() on a variable of type Number, the value will change from
signed to unsigned depending on what was done with the variable
even if the actual contents haven't changed. For example I tried
doing a bitwise OR on a Number that had 0xFFFFFFFF in it, and the
interpretation switched from unsigned to signed.
2. It seems that when I do an add 0 to a _y member of one of
my MovieClips the contents of my movie EXPAND AND SKEW to extreme
extents. I don't even know how this is possible, because nowhere in
my application do I modify _width/_height, or any scale property
values of ANY MovieClip objects (only read them).
3. When testing my app on a device (LG VX8000), Flash Lite
began IGNORING certain core language operations (adding / creating
an empty movie clip / etc..) RANDOMLY if I start mashing keys fast
enough (happens sometimes even if I don't mash keys).... operations
which work 100% of the time in the Flash 8 device emulator both
with a low and high FPS rate.
4. When retrieving _y and _height properties of a MovieClip,
in certain places these properties were INTERCHANGED WITH EACH
OTHER if I didn't add trace() calls to print their values before
hand. Taking out the trace() calls caused the values to continue
being swapped.
These are pretty serious issues that are making my app
unstable all around. My application is entirely based on the basics
of ActionScript 2.0. I can assure people reading this that the
problems are not because of bugs within my application. Has anyone
come across any of these problems before? Can anyone at Adobe
provide information or workarounds/support.
It's a shame to see such huge bugs in the Flash Lite
VM.

Hello,
I'm the PM for Flash Lite, and thank you for your interest in
our products.
Let me clarify the purpose of the Windows Mobile 5 release of
Flash Lite. As you are aware, we license Flash Lite to our OEM
customers so that they may integrate Flash Lite into their mobile
phones. Flash 7 SDK is not targeted at regular mobile phones - just
the pocketPC.
There are differences between Flash Lite and Flash Player 7
in that FP7 supports video and Flash Lite 2.1 does not. this is the
most fundamental difference between the two.
If you are building content that you expect will run not only
on PocketPC, but other mobile phones as well, then FL2.1 for WM5 is
a good starting place to test and try out your content because when
OEMs ship phones with Flash Lite 2.1 already preinstalled, your
content is "good to go".
Flash Lite 2.1 authoring is supported as an "add on" to the
Flash 8 authoring tool. Please check out our Flash 8 tool section
on Adobe.com here
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/
- select the Flash Lite 2.1 for Flash Professional 8.
You will need to use Flash 8 authoring with update for Flash
Lite 2.1 to create/author your content.
CDK = Content Development Kit - contains tips, samples etc.
Flash Player 7 SDK - this is a kit not for developers, but
for companies that may want to embed Flash Player 7 into their
devices such as set top boxes or game consoles. We give these
customers source code of the Flash 7 player.
The Flash Player 7 for PocketPC will play back Flash 7 and
prior versions of Flash content.
I would encourage you to read up on more of our online
resources and as you get more familiar with Flash, you will
definitely see that it is a very compelling application development
platform and join the thousands of other flash developers.
best regards,
Vinay

N97 Mini Flash Lite Problem

Hey Guys, what happened with me maybe a minor issue but i wanna know how to solve it.
Here's what happened with my N97 mini: I had the flash lite 3.0 installed, so I downloaded The flash lite 3.1(4) from a link i found on Google. Now, when I go to youtube.com on the default symbian browser, I get the first "frame" of the video with sound but without the video; only first "frame" of the video appears. When I tap on the video for Fullscreen the web browser closes by itself and it shows to the homescreen, and something really weird happens: when i hide the widgets and show them again, it does it like i have the theme effects off.. but when i go to theme settings, its actually theme effects on. And it doesnt do the effects again untill i turn my phone off and then turn it on.
On the other hand, I guess this flash lite issue is causing a problem on video playback in realplayer. When I record a video with the camera and play it back, it does it without any problem and the file format is MP4. Though, when i send an MP4 video from my pc to the phone, the playback shows no picture.. just the sound.
Im sorry If I said too much, but i said everything that happened because i wanna know if its really the flash lite's problem.. or its something else?
And either way, whats the solution!? Please Guys I need ur help

A software update shouldn't cause a problem as the phone has data protection, just to be safe back up your contacts, but the phone should be fine anyway, simply re-install the software with Nokia Software Updater, and hoprfuly it will resolve your problem, if not , contact a Nokia Care Point, whatever the case , the phone definitely won't be any worse for a software install.
Good Luck

Free Flash Lite Game

http://fanssssss.googlepages.com/Heaven.zip
This is my final year project.
Please spend a few second to play it and complete my
questionnaire.
http://www.my3q.com/home2/154/flashlite/52730.phtml
Thank you so much!!

Hi, is it wise to sell all rights to this game?
Why don't you try getting it distributed on a none exclusive
deal, go for a 50-50 split on sales? Unless you are going to get a
lucrative buy out deal mate, I wouldn't sell it. It wont be many
months before all new phones are out with pre installed Flash lite
so if I were you i'd wait a while and see what you can do yourself
or through distribution deals first

Flash To Flash Lite Game Files

I have existing Flash games, what would be involved in
converting them to Flash Lite to be playable on a cell phone. I
have Flash CS3? Thank you for your help.

Ciao
you can create your own mobile site and then the user can
download it from there. Or you can use one of the Content

Flash Lite SWF in MMS not opening correctly

I have a question that i hope you might be able to help on if
you have a few spare minutes.
I have developed a swf which i am sending via MMS to a Nokia
N91 and Nokia 6234 which have flash lite installed on them.
When the phone recieves the MMS it says:
6234:
Unable to show object
N91:
Unable to display message. select objects in options menu for
more details.
however when i go into 'objects' from the main menu i am able
to open the file contained within the mms perfectly, It is in
'objects' with a question mark symbol next to it. When i save it
out of objects and into a folder on the phone it becomes a flash
lite icon.
If you have any ideas about what could be wrong, ive got the
feeling i need to put something in the MMS that tells the phone
what file it is recieving like /object-type/etc or that mime type
stuff? i cant find anything about it anywhere :(
if you have any ideas or can point me in the right direction
i would be extremely grateful

Hi there,
The reason you're not able to view SWF files as MMS
attachments is because Nokia did not implement that Flash content
type (MMS) in their implementation of the N91 (and the 6234 from
what you describe).
Once you copy the object (SWF file) out of the messaging
client into your phone memory or memory card, the phone OS
recognizes the extension .SWF and associates the Flash icon with it
- the Flash Lite Player 1.1 that's pre-installed on these devices
can open and play these files via the standalone player, which is a
Flash content type that Nokia supports.
Hope this helps,

Flash Lite in Flash CS3

Hi all,
I've just earned a freelance contract to develop a mobile
phone game, & i've got a copy of CS3 Design Premium on the way,
which includes Flash CS3 Professional. I've developed Flash games
before using the Flash Lite 2.1 plugin for Flash 8 Professional,
but I'm a little confused about the situation in Flash CS3.
Does Flash CS3 come with Flash Lite 2.1? If not, has a Flash
Lite 2.1 plugin been released for Flash CS3? & if not, does the
Flash Lite 2.1 plugin for Flash 8 work for Flash CS3?
I guess my questions really is, is it currently possible to
develop Flash Lite 2.1 content with Flash CS3, & if so, what do
i need?
Cheers
Andrew

Read all about it here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/
Since nothing in Flash Lite 2.1 has changed I believe
everything is done pretty much the same as it was in Flash 8 (AS2
targets, etc...) Don't quote me on that though...

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.
~ Dennis.

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.
