Honeycomb is another version of Android which possible to get Flash in it. Actually, this version is the first anticipated android where tablet are perfect for it.

"Consumers are clearly asking for Flash support on tablet devices and the good news is that they won’t have to wait long. We are aware of over 50 tablets that will ship in 2011 supporting a full web experience (including Flash support) and Xoom users will be among the first to enjoy this benefit," said Matt Rozen, on Adobe's Flash Platform Blog.

Support for Adobe Flash Player software is seen as a major advantage for rivals to Apple's iPad because Apple has eschewed the technology, which has found widespread use as a video streaming format. Adobe expects to see Flash installed on over 132 million [M] devices by the end of this year, he added, saying the company had raised its estimates for 2011.

Great job!

Broadcom 'Running' Pursuit of Adobe's Flash 10.1

2009-11-19T12:10:00.001+07:00

Shortly after Adobe announced the latest version of flash, a leading graphics companies like NVIDIA, ATI and Intel have entered their names to support these technologies. Do not want to miss, Broadcom also helped provide support to the device hardware.

As quoted from liliputting, Thursday (19/11/2009) video accelerator Broadcom is not a graphics card that is 'standalone'. Thus, users do not need to buy it separately.

Although not dedicated to playing games, but the graphics card is claimed to optimize the quality of High Definition video class at netbook. So the video is showing would have outstanding qualities.

The first netbook to use this graphics card is the HP Mini 110. But what happened, some owners of these netbooks instead 'mempreteli' this graphics card to be installed on the netbook brands.

In the Adobe forum and MyHPMini, mentioned also that with a combination of Adobe Flash Player 10.1 with this graphics card, it can optimize the embedded Atom processor in a netbook for smooth high-resolution video playback.

Adobe Flash Coming Soon to Mobile

2009-11-18T10:48:00.001+07:00

Today, Adobe released the prerelease version of Flash Player 10.1 for computers and netbooks running Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (linux). Adobe has also updated some of its mobile demo videos and documents and it looks like a beta of Flash Player 10.1 for the Palm Pre is right around the corner.

Flash Player 10.1 utilizes GPU and hardware acceleration for H.264 and AAC media whenever possible. The big hurdle with Flash on mobile or low-powered devices is that Flash isn’t compiled to offload the decoding tasks to the graphics processor, which can often do the heavy lifting with better performance with with less power consumption.

Even if you aren’t running a netbook or lower-powered system, you might just benefit from downloading Flash Player 10.1 prerelease. Mac OS X users have had a lot of issues with Flash slowdowns — even on the fastest machines. My own iMac with an Intel i7 and 8 GB of RAM still suffers more slowdowns than it should. The prerelease reduces CPU usage to a significant degree, according to AnandTech’s benchmarks and I saw immediate improvements in Hulu (Hulu) full-screen playback.

It was great news!

Fake Adobe Flash Player Install - Don't Be Fooled

2009-10-19T11:29:00.004+07:00

You are surfing along and when you land on a site that contains any type of flash movie (and some that don’t!), you get a popup box that says your Adobe Flash version is out of date and needs to be updated.

Since it appears real enough, and because most computer users know they have Adobe installed, many will click on it. Don’t. It is Malware.

Malware often use many techniques to manifest itself onto their host, including these fake warnings to update something on your computer. This piece of malware masquerades itself as a flash player plugin for the Firefox browser (detected by Sophos as Troj/FFSpy-A, and TrojanClicker.VB.395 as detected by TrojanHunter ).

To Repair Your Machine

Take these steps to clear your machine, and remember, a daily complete virus scan by reliable scanning software can save you a lot of grief.

First, since this is a FireFox Addon, open FireFox –> Tools –> Addons

You are looking for an addon that looks something like the one above. Remember it has undergone revisions over the years, so it might not appear exactly as shown. Uninstall this nasty little guy.

Next, the extension works in conjunction with a trojan executable. In the recent past it was smc.exe, though there are probably others by now. And if you are running SyGate as your firewall, smc.exe is a legitimate file! You will need an up to date virus and Trojan scan to remove the rest of the malicious software from your machine. TojanHunter is not a bad tool to add to your arsenal. You can download a free 30 day trial at that link.

To Determine Your Real Version Of Flash

When in doubt, you should always visit the Adobe site for your downloads. In fact, this is true for ANY legitimate software or extension you have installed. Just like the fake email’s from PayPal or your bank, don’t trust the direct link. Type it into the address bar or closely review the link you are about to click. It should not have any extra characters in the link (for example www.AdobeX.com).

To determine the exact version of the flash player you have installed on your computer, you can visit Adobe’s Version checker at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Flash is Belong to Adobe

2009-10-19T10:41:00.000+07:00

So when Adobe contacted Envato, an Australian startup that operates a set of popular marketplaces for digital creative goods to change one of their marketplaces names, Envato had no choice. Envato operates a property called FlashDen, which sells Adobe Flash and Flex files like preloaders, galleries, site templates and utilities. Files are created and sold by a huge community of authors from all over the world.

Last week Adobe contacted Envato and asked Envato to change the name and URL of FlashDen so that it would no longer contain the term ‘Flash’, which is a registered trademark of Adobe. With little time, Envato changed the name from FlashDen to ActiveDen.

Seeing this change, we reached out to Collis Ta’eed, the CEO of Envato, and he mentioned that Envato received a letter from a law firm representing Adobe asking to change FlashDen’s name. Envato followed through, not wanting more legal problems with Adobe. Ta’eed also mentioned that “FlashDen” was filed as a trademark in Australia in January 2008 and entered on the Australian trademark register in August 2008. Envato is based in Melbourne, Australia.

Toggling _focusrect

2009-04-13T19:05:00.002+07:00

Rather than Flash lite 2.x, you can not modifications its _focusrect property. By default _focusrect be yellow box around.

You can toggle _focusrect by using
_focusrect = false;

Using the SetFocusRectColor command within your Flash Lite 2.x and 3 applications is easy, as there is a custom fscommand2.

fscommand2("SetFocusRectColor", 0, 0, 0);
Selection.setFocus(any_mc);

You need to set the color to replace 0,0,0.

Memory Limitation for Flash Lite Game

2009-04-08T22:24:00.002+07:00

You may have flash lite application on your project which need to be so an adventure-like game. Ever wonder how many Megabytes are acceptable for Flash Lite applications?

A Flash Lite application should be in the kilobytes range not megabytes. Remember everything runs in memory. Test using Device Central and look at the memory consumption.`Usually is around 2MB for S60 phones.

On the phone you will get a prompt asking to access the network. Usually only once.
If you are not distributing your application to the public you really do not need to go through the Symbian singed process.

2 Way and 4 Way Navigation

2009-04-06T18:33:00.003+07:00

Ever wondered why some flash lite application can use 2 way navigation, while other can use 4 way?

This not because if specific script to push some application only working in 2 or 4 way. That because you set it on different device. Some device, mostly japanese one, only support 2 way navigation. That's why you can not make 4 way navigation for their market.

You can have this device to test on 2 way navigation :

Fujitsu F700i, Fujitsu F700iS, Fujitsu F901iC, Fujitsu F901iS, and Mitsubishi D901i. Those are working for flash lite 1.x.

To check on your computer, you can open C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Samples and Tutorial/Samples/Flash Lite 2.0.

_focusrect in input text

2009-04-02T21:40:00.003+07:00

Usually if we create flash lite application, we use input type to collect some data. It can any variable to send to database or any query to specific URL.

While you doing that, sometime you want to disable any focus rectangle (yellow box) on button. You can use this code that apply to button :

on (rollOver) {
_focusrect = true;
}

While you leave those button away from yellow box, you can enable each input type by adding code to first frame :

tex1._focusrect = true;

That if you already set input text name as text1.

Place Movie Clip On Specific Area

2009-04-01T16:37:00.002+07:00

I have one movieclip or MC, and I want to have it on top of the page. Maybe it would be so easy to do so. You just make an movie clip in flash lite, and then put it whit align help panel to set it right in the center area.

Done.

But how if you dont know the size of mobile screen size. It has different size, from 240*320, 176*208, 352*416, and so on. First, you need to get information about size. You can use Stage.width; (get width) and Stage.height; (to get its height). So for example, you make stageWidth_txt text with variable name : stageWidth_txt. Then in first frame you type :

onEnterFrame = function()
{
stageWidth_txt.text = Stage.width;
}

Then it will tell the width of the screen size.

With this information, when you make a movie clip with name : box_mc, you can set it to get middle and top of screen with :

onEnterFrame = function()
{
setProperty( "box_mc", _y, 0 );
setProperty( "box_mc", _x, (Stage.width/2) );

}

Trial Versions of Flash CS4 is Avalilable

2008-11-26T18:08:00.000+07:00

Yes, by middle of this November, Adobe released Trial Version od Flash CS4. Now everyone can try it. This trial versions are available for both Mac and PC in the languages Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.

Click here to download the trial. Have fun!

Looking for Flash Lite tester in Japan

2008-11-13T10:16:00.000+07:00

Japan is still main target of some flash lite developer. Well, we know, they started to develop it since few years ago. And ever since, they still busy to develop and create more and more flash lite application on each telecommunication provider. Like NTT docomo, AU, etc.

Some of my flash lite project are targeted for japan market. Even I can not understand Japanese Language, I'm so lucky I have friends there. They will help me to do some test out before my flash lite release in Japan. They can tested out to their own phone or just bring the application and go to nearly shop that provided some handset to be tested.

And if you are in Japan, you can also help some developers are really like to launch a flash lite product in Japan. If you don't work, then some of developers want to pay to make any necessary modifications to make it work. Like instinct.co.nz who now looking for helper with flash lite tester in japan or outside japan with Japanese phones.

Looping for specific time in movie clip

2008-11-05T22:48:00.001+07:00

File size are really matter when you working with flash lite. Specially when you making application with flash lite 1.* or 2.*. They will asking for lower than 100 kb as file size.

So, coding will be important. When you create movie clip and asking it for looping only several times, you will rather using coding than making movie clip many. So, for example, you want to have a movie clip only looping 3 times or 5 times, you can try this one.

Put a code in frame 1 :

var countMe = 0;
var howManyTimes = 2;

(Notes : 0 is included as a number..This would loop 3 times)

Then on frame 2 add keyframe, and do nothing.

On last frame :
if (countMe==howManyTimes) {
stop();
} else {
countMe++;
gotoAndPlay(2);
// note: cannot go back to frame one because countMe var
// would get reset if that frame is entered...
}

And, you are done!

Micro payment API for you to make money on your game

2008-09-29T14:42:00.000+07:00

What is API and where you can get and host your free Multiplayer API is what we discuss in my last post.

Now you can even get Micro payment API for you to make money on your game. What great about this is a payment API for flash games.

Nonoba Payment is a Flash API, for ActionScript 2 & 3, that allows any game developer to charge real money, from a few cents to hundreds of dollars, for their in-game content. The developer receives 70% of all revenue, while we use 30% to cover transaction-fees, fraud and management of purchased items. It’s the same split as Apples iPhone App Store, and we think it's a pretty good deal and a great way for a game developer to make some actual money from their hours of hard work.

Games developed with Nonoba Payment works everywhere on the Internet.

How payment works:
Payment happens inside the game, and when the payment is done, the user can continue playing the game with the additional unlocked content. While we currently only support PayPal as a payment method, we’re hard at work negotiating deals with additional payment methods like Premium SMS, promotion based payment, and credit cards for all countries.

Opportunities for the developer:
Game developers have complete freedom over what they want to sell, and the price they wish to charge for it. The system is not limited but supports a lot of different payment models: trial-to-purchase, level packs, upgrades, micropayment for mini-upgrades, or simply asking for donations. It’s up to the developer to figure out how they want to monetize their game.

Multiplayer API and big contest:
Nonoba Payment naturally works really well with our other APIs, like our hosted multiplayer API for hassle-free building of flash multiplayer games. It’s already been used to build a bunch of great games, and we’re still accepting entries into our Multiplayer Kick-off competition, which runs until 1st of November with total prizes for $ 20.000 USD.

Visit our multiplayer section to learn more: http://nonoba.com/developers/multiplayerapi/overview

Flash Lite 1.1 Player Error Messages

2008-09-18T16:27:00.000+07:00

While you finish the rest of your flash lite application, sometime you keep press Ctrl+Enter to check your application on Flash Emulator. Once you have problem with those, you will see any error message that will appear on the emulator.

This can help you to get away from more problem when you test on real handset. Like when I try to place movie clip into movie clip with loadMovie(url,"some_mc");, I found problem on it.

It is said :

Problem with content: 5 - Invalid ActionScript in SWF data.

So what is Problem with content: 5 anyway?

Adobe developer center bring solution with describe all this code problem.

Here's a complete list of the "Problem with content: number" messages you may encounter, listed by error number:

1. Out of memory
2. Stack limit reached
3. Corrupt SWF data
4. ActionScript stuck
5. Infinite AS loop
6. Bad JPEG data
7. Bad sound data
8. Cannot find host
9. ActionScript error
10. URL too long

Usually after the Flash Lite 1.1 player prompts you with a message, you need to exit the player, relaunch it, and open the SWF file again.

2008-09-08T21:12:00.000+07:00

Random Welcome Screen

2008-08-25T22:04:00.000+07:00

I love tricky way to generate random frame to be stopped. For example, you have frame 1-10 with different movie clip on it. So,whenever user click a button,they will get surprises with different welcome screen.

Here we go.

on (release) {

// Sets the number of digits in the random sequence:
var mySetting = 3;

// Creates a random number:
myNumber = random(mySetting)+1;

// Checks to see if it is repeating itself:
if (myNumber == myTemp) {
// If it is repeating it generates a new random number:
myNumber = random(mySetting)+1;
gotoAndStop(myNumber);
// Continues as above:
if (myNumber == myTemp) {
myNumber = random(mySetting)+1;
gotoAndStop(myNumber);
if (myNumber == myTemp) {
myNumber = random(mySetting)+1;
gotoAndStop(myNumber);
if (myNumber == myTemp) {
myNumber = random(mySetting)+1;
gotoAndStop(myNumber);
}
}
}
}
// Displays the random number:
myDisplay = myNumber;
// Resets the variable to the new random number:
myTemp = myNumber;
}

Thanks for Phil Sculz for sharing this.

- Use the FLVPlayback component and one line of ActionScript to feed that stream into a browser.

There are 6 articles for this :

Part 1: Installing Flash Media Server 3
Part 2: Streaming video with Flash Media Server 3
Part 3: Using ActionScript 3.0 with Flash Media Server 3
Part 4: Streaming audio through Flash Media Server 3
Part 5: Security features in Flash Media Server 3
Part 6: Streaming live video with Flash Media Server 3

Bvlgari Stop Watch Timer

2008-07-09T19:15:00.001+07:00

Today, i just realized that some analog watch use smallest hand just for stop watch guide. It is different than other watch, which use 3 kind of hands for pointing hour, minute and second.

Please check Bvlgari with Calibro 303 series. It has 3 small circles on it. The lower one is pointing second hand. So it will be little hard to create small Flash Lite screensaver with different purpose as usual.

So, we need to create small stop watch function as part of watch working. To help, we need to use function GetTimer().

time1=getTimer();

Also we need to put 3 buttons on the stage, start, stop and reset. In layer called action script, we add this code : stop() on frame 1, /:time2=getTimer();/out=/:time2-/:time1; (on second frame), and gotoAndPlay("count"); (on third frame).

On Start Button, add this code :

on(keyPress "1"){
/:time1=getTimer();
gotoAndPlay("count");
}

On Stop Button:

on(keyPress "2"){
gotoAndStop("full");
/:time2=getTimer();
/:duration = /:time2 - /:time1;
/:output = "Elapsed Time: " add /:duration;
}

On Reset Button:

on(keyPress "3"){
/:output="0";
gotoAndPlay("Stopped");
}

Thanks for Phillip Lam for great tutorial articles.

C905 : First S/E with Project Capuchin support

2008-06-30T23:47:00.000+07:00

In todays newsletter of Sony Ericsson they have announced/mentioned the first mobile phone which supports the Project Capuchin API. It's the SE C905 phone with Flash Lite 2.0, FM tuner and a 8.1 megapixel camera.

What is Project Capuchin?

Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin technology is a Java ME API and associated tools that define a bridge between the Java ME and Adobe Flash Lite programming environments.

This API and soon-to-be-available tools makes it possible to use Flash as the presentation layer and Java as the application logic, meaning that Flash tools can be used for UI design while still having access to all the phone services available to Java ME.

The tool packages the Flash content together with the Java application logic into a Java Archive, JAR file, hence allowing the resulting application and package to be treated and managed as a Java application re-using all of the existing Java infrastructure available on the phone and provisioning backend.

Project Capuchin takes advantage of Flash's strengths in fast UI deployment and well established designer tools, meanwhile Java's strengths are in services, security and a well developed distribution infrastructure.

Device Profile Update #6

2008-06-25T18:20:00.001+07:00

So how many devices profiles you can select? almost 460 over!. And what would a Nokia N95 8GB user love to hear is, it now allocating 4mb heap memory. Get here for update.

Acrobat 9 with Full Flash Player Built In

2008-06-18T15:45:00.000+07:00

Acrobat, a genuine name all people known as Adobe product, now has a full Flash Player built in. I think it just about time, when Adobe acquire Macromedia, many Adobe product support what Macromedia's offer.

And so is Adobe Acrobat with latest version, Acrobat 9. Let's say if I working on project with several document, like word document, PDF, Flash file, you can combine it all together as a single PDF portfolio. Thanks to PDF Portfolios feature, that make it all happened.

While you working with Microsoft Office Word 2007, with Adobe Buzzworld all be possibleto be online word processor that can read and write in the new docx format.

I believe the upcoming Adobe Reader 9 will be intgrated with Acrobat so you can share PDF files on web with easily.

Fully Hosted and Free Multiplayer API

2008-06-15T13:14:00.000+07:00

This post title sound really good. But it is true, you may host and use free multiplayer API without any cost.

Thanks to Nonoba.com informed me by email about their feature. They have been working with multiplayer flash games on their own server technology for a long time, and during that time a lot of flash developers and companies have approached them for access or licensing of that technology.

The API supports the full range of multiplayer games, from simple turn based games to more complicated real-time games. To show these capabilities, they have released a new, and in their opinion, awesome game called Nonoba Racer. They have also ported some of our old creations to act as examples in the SDK, such as Fridge Magnets, Multiplayer Asteroids and DrawPad.

They are announcing their first big game competition with $20.000 USD in prices and a first price of $15.000 USD, for the best game to be built on the Multiplayer API.

Astro, Adobe® Flash® Player 10

2008-05-19T17:07:00.001+07:00

I have not lucky yet to give Adobe Flash 10 a try. I do believe it has more power to present better application. It come to be great experience to see its new expressive features.

It even have a code-name for it, Astro. From what I have heard from official site, some of the key features is easily transform and animate any display object through 3D, the ability to Create and share your own portable filters, blend modes, and fills using Adobe Pixel Bender™. Maybe you have heard Pixel Bender as Hydra, which can use as a filter factory, a way to create effects just in time. The combination of using the graphics card to do the calculations and not the processor come as great aspect.

You can check the release note for more information.

Text And Fonts on Flash

2008-03-11T00:35:00.000+07:00

Flash affords two main types of fonts : TrueType and pixel fonts. Both are easily find on Properties panel, and both are embedded in the exported SWF. Also, Flash Lite enable to specify other type of font : device fonts.

True Type : were created to fill the needed of accurately representing a printed font for onscreen viewing. Some examples of popular TrueType fonts included Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman and Courier.

Pixel fonts : essentially a trueType font, but designed for use at a specific point size by constructing the font from a series of sequares on whole pixel coordinates.Also,it has rasterized look.

Device fonts : This option can be checked on of off in the properties panel when editing a text field. This type of font is perfect to large areas of text that might need scrolling.

Code : About "Add" and "+" on Flash Lite 1.1

2007-07-03T17:54:00.000+07:00

If you wonder why 9:00 reads "9:0" in Flash Lite1.1? this because Flash Lite 1.1 uses the add operator for string concatenation. + is
for numbers only, not strings.

So try :
minutes = ("O" add minutes);

rather than :

/:minutes = FSCommand2(" GetTimeMinutes" );
if(10>minutes)
{
minutes = ("O"+minutes) ;

Web : Opera developing Flash replacement for mobile browser

2007-06-29T17:52:00.000+07:00

Opera Software vice president Tatsuki Tomita has confirmed that his company is developing a replacement for the Adobe Flash plug-in for use with future versions of the Opera Mini mobile web browser.

Tomita explained that the reason for this move is that the traditional Flash plug-in uses a large amount of CPU and memory resources, limiting speed and battery life on mobile platforms. The problem is exacerbated when the Flash plug-in is not well-optimized for the platform it is running on; Macintosh users can attest to this firsthand. "You cannot execute and provide a good user experience," Tomita told InfoWorld, referring to running the Flash plug-in on mobile devices.

The new technology will add video capability directly into the Web browser so that users can see and play back video content directly in Opera. As of yet, Opera has not commented on whether or not the new native playback ability for Opera Mobile will be able to play existing Flash content.

Sound bad for Flash developer ?

It very easy, all Telkomsel subscriber (kartu Halo, Simpati and As) just send SMS, type 'flash' and send to 3636. When your handset support modem you can try it.

There are 6 models on billing system : Rp. 350/minutes, Rp. 30.000 for 3 hours package (valid on one day), Rp. 100.000 for 24 hours package (valid in one week), Rp. 200.000 for 40 hours package, Rp. 400.000 for 100 hours and Rp. 800.000 for 250 hours.

Cakupan area juga sangat mumpuni. Selama kita masih berada dalam cover are operator Esia kita bisa mengaksesnya setiap saat. Tarif yang diberlakukan juga tak kalah seru, diklaim dengan angka Rp. 125/menit untuk prabayar dan Rp. 100/menit untuk paskabayar.

Satu lagi piranti pemutar file multimedia ditawarkan secara gratis untuk diunduh. Kali ini adalah giliran Adobe untuk memperkenalkan Adobe Media Player. Sebuah produk terkini yang mestinya juga menawarkan kelebihan dibanding pesaingnya seperti Tunes atau Windows Media Player.

Jelas yang menjadi perhatian utama bila mengingat sang produsennya yang menghasilkan produk Flash adalah kemampuan untuk memutar dan mengunduh Video podcast dengan selipan FLV (untuk memutar Quicktime mov). Dengan pertimbangan kompresi yang lebih baik, file FLV relatif lebih kecil dalam soal ukuran dibandingan dengan format MOV hingga memudahkan urusan mengunduh dengan kelebihan kecepatannya.

Produk ini bisa digunakan di komputer dengan sistem operasi Windows, Mac dan Linux.

2007-04-05T18:16:00.000+07:00

Setiap saat menemukan iklan yang berhubungan dengan penyedia jasa layanan internet wireless serasa menemukan oase di tengah kegarangan panas gurun. Iya, ini semua sejalan dengan rencana memasang koneksi internet di rumah untuk keperluan usaha adik. Tentu untuk memulai usaha banyak gairah yang muncul. Salah satunya berimbas pada keinginan untuk melengkapinya dengan kemudahan mengakses internet di rumah.

Hari ini Telkomsel melalui iklan di koran nasional memperkenalkan TelkomselFlash. Masih sebatas promo karena acara perkenalan juga masih terbatas di kota-kota tertentu. Dalam iklannya Telkomsel memperkenalkan di beberapa mall di Jakarta dengan mengiming-imingi mencoba tak berbayar layanan yang satu ini. Jelas tawaran yang menggiurkan. Semoga Bandung bisa menjadi kota labuhan selanjutnya.

Diklaim mampu berseluncur dengan kecepatan 3.2 Mbps, dimana saja asal berada di wilayah yang terlingkupi layanan Telkomsel. Layanan ini bisa diakses menggunakan kartu prabayar maupun pasca bayar Telkomsel. Sebut saja Halo, Simpati dan As.

Peranti yang diperlukan adalah sebuat alat yang sangat mudah pemasanganya. Asal komputer kita memiliki port USB kita hany perlu mencolokkan sebuah USB modem. Cukup praktis kan?

Urusan tarif jelas perlu dicermati nih. Dengan kecepatan sebesar itu (kalau tidak menyebut sebagai yang terbesar saat ini) kita perlu merogoh kocek hingga Rp. 350/menit. Artinya dalam sejam kita akan kehilangan pulsa senilai Rp. 21.000!. Memang tak sebesar bila browsing menggunakan modem yang ada di ponsel dan menyambungkannya ke PC selama ini. Namun jelas masih terhitung mahal.

WEB : Converting Flash Content to Flash Lite 1.1

2006-09-04T17:08:00.000+07:00

New article from adobe.com, written by Jae Young Chae, on converting Flash content to Flash Lite 1.1.

In this article, he review how to create an application in Flash using ActionScript 2.0 and then review creating the same application for Flash Lite 1.1. In the process, you will learn some common techniques for converting PC-based Flash content to mobile device–based Flash Lite 1.1 content.

Because objects and arrays are not available in Flash Lite 1.1, developers encounter multiple difficulties when they develop Flash-based applications and content. You will realize that once you start a project, however, nothing is really impossible—even though the time for development may take longer and the content of the project may not be exactly what the developer originally envisioned. Of course, you may be upset with content containing structures that are not able to be improved over time.

The good news is that Flash Lite 2.0, which comes with Flash 8, allows you to use almost every object in Flash MX Professional 2004. Given the current situation, Flash Lite 1.1 will exist along with Flash Lite 2.0 until handsets that ship with Flash Lite 2.0 natively installed become widely available.

Nice tricks to try, dont you think?

1. Depending on your setup (device, network, etc) ... try using: rtsp:// instead of http:// to target the clip.
2. Make sure the target clip is encoded correctly (by testing it on the target device). Test with the actual video device player to be sure.
3. Use a getURL to target the 3gp clip ... see if the device video player can render it.
4. Also make sure the dimensions of the video match those set on your stage proportionally.
5. Make sure the video clip on the stage has an instance name assigned to target ... in your case: my_video.

Guidelines :

Suppose you have this great idea for some game or content for a handset, but you don't know where to start? Most often this is the case, and, with some proper planning, it's not that difficult to determine if your ideas can become reality. Here's a checklist you can use to help you get started:

Would I or anyone else use the content on a handset?
What are the advantages of having this content on a handset?
Will all of the information fit on the screen?
Does the information need to be updated?
How will a user interact with the content?
How difficult will it be to create this content for a handset?
If you use this checklist as a guide then you'll be well on your way to creating Flash content for handsets

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Development Checklist
I wrote about this in the Flash Lite 1.1 CDK, and it's so important that I wanted to mention it again. When you develop Flash Lite 1.1 content for handsets, make sure to check the following items:

Does the Flash content work?
Is the Flash content intuitive and easy to interact with?
Does the Flash content load data and SWF files without any problems?
Can you optimize the images or rewrite code to further reduce the file size and memory requirements while improving performance?
Are all bitmap images successfully decoded and rendered on the handset?

2006-04-24T14:56:00.000+07:00

Here is an example code how Hayden Porter currently handling key down events.

His main concern is whether using the following code for detecting 12
digit key presses will work on international phones.

String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii())

I am assuming this should convert the ASCII code into, the physical
label printed on a given key such as 1-9,0#,*.

/*
Define key DOWN events
*/
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onfiltered= function() {
// for 5 way navigation and soft key down events
switch(Key.getCode()){
case Key.ENTER: my_txt.text = "enter"; break;
case Key.LEFT: my_txt.text = "left"; break;
case Key.RIGHT: my_txt.text = "right"; break;
case Key.UP: my_txt.text = "up"; break;
case Key.DOWN: my_txt.text = "down"; break;
case ExtendedKey.SOFT1: my_txt.text = "left soft key"; break;
case ExtendedKey.SOFT2:
my_txt.text = "right soft key";
fscommand2("Quit");
break;
}

// for 12 digit keypad key down events
switch(String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii())){
case "1": my_txt.text = "1";break;

Flash Player 6 and Flash Lite 2

2006-03-25T13:56:00.000+07:00

This is Hayden Porter posted on Flash Lite Mailing List about the difference between Flash Player 6 and Flash Lite 2 :

Flash 6 is essentially a AS1 platform, though I think you can use
certain AS2 syntax conventions if you want to make your code
compatible between Flash 6 and FlashLite 2.

Flash 6 does not support classes added in Flash 7 such as
MovieClipLoader class, which is also available in FlashLite 2. So
compare the classes between the two platforms for compatibility.

Flash 6 does support system.cababilities object for checking network
connection, battery level and some other features, but this would be
more limited than Flash Lite 2.

Flash 6 does not support any of the fscommand2() functions available
to Flash Lite.

Flash 6 does not support device audio, and instead relies upon built
in sound, not sure if this is implemented in 7710. There is not
likely any FLV video support in Flash 6 mobile devices.

Flash 6 mobile does support xml.sockets (atleast on PPC). This is not
supported in Flash Lite 2.

You might ask more about the 7710 player in the Flash handhelds forum
at macromedia.com. There have been other people asking about this
device in the past, though it seems hard to get information about it.
Also you should download the Pocket PC CDK to know how Flash 6 for
mobile compares to desktop.

Unfortunately, there is no CDK for this device. I wish Adobe would do
a better job at releasing CDKs for devices currently on the market.
Nokia also has the Nokia Internet Tablet with Flash 6, but there is no
CDK for this either.

Content developers cant really make stuff without the CDK and
licensees may not see value of licensing Flash if there is no one
making content, because there is no CDK.

Notes : Flash Lite and Flash 6 are different in that flashlite has built in phone
specific functionalities that are acheaved through fscommand2.
Flashlite is built to take advantage of the phones small memory and cpu capabilities.
Flash 6 cant run on a mobile phone.

Web :Most Popular Mobile Platform Development

2006-03-20T18:39:00.000+07:00

i heard lots of wikipedia, but i havent try it one.but today i found interesting article about mobile platform.yes,,,its about flashlite, one of them.
This page summarizes the known differences between the most popular mobile platform development options for handheld devices such as a PDA or mobile phones.

Its about Symbian, J2ME,Python, .net Compact,BREW.

It said, flash lite are ideal for Graphics-heavy options, well, you can find out more here.

Optimization Tips and Tricks for Flash Lite 2

2006-03-14T10:14:00.000+07:00

Great tips from Jonathan Duran, Macromedia Developer Support Manager for Mobile and Devices, to optimize file for Flash Lite 2.

Monitoring and Managing Memory on the Device

Use size reports to manage SWF file size
FSCommand2(“GetTotalPlayerMemory”)
FSCommand2(“GetFreePlayerMemory”)

Optimizing Assets

Avoid complex vectors with too many curves and points.
Attempt to use primitive vectors including circles, squares, and lines.
Experiment converting vectors to JPEGs and test how this affects performance.
Wherever possible use JPEGs optimized for smaller file size in an external editor such as Photoshop or Fireworks and save for the appropriate bit depth.
Use PNGs if bitmap transparency is required and cannot be faked by using masked JPEGs or JPEGs merged with the background.
When using transparent PNGs insure that they do not overlap (including the transparent areas). Rendering transparency through another transparency will exponentially burden the processor.
Experiment converting JPEGs to vectors (via Trace Bitmap command in Flash) and test how this affects performance.

On Framerates

Most supported handsets will playback Flash at 12-15 frames per second(fps)

Low-end = 6-12 fps
Average = 12-15 fps
High-end = 15+ fps

During development limit the framerate to resemble playback speed on target handset to test responsiveness and speed of animation in low fps situations
Set the framerate to at least 20 fps when publishing final file to avoid artificially limiting performance should the handset be capable of higher framerate

Animation Performance

Transparency and gradients are processor intensive tasks and should be used sparingly. Experiment with faking transparency using JPEGs, masks, and gradients.
Adjusting the render quality

You can control this during playback to improve performance
fscommand2("SetQuality", "low");
fscommand2("SetQuality", "high");

It is important to remember that with a typical mobile UI, without a stylus, the user’s eye can usually only follow one thing at a time.
Make the area of focus well designed and animated, then reduce animation and effects in other areas of the screen.
Pause passive background animation (i.e. subtle background effects) during transitions.
Content performance will be directly affected by percentage of the screen being updated simultaneously. Avoid designs that rely on frequent full-screen refreshes.
Avoid tweening too many items simultaneously. Reduce the number of tweens and/or sequence animation so that one begins when another ends.
Test adding/removing animated elements to weigh their impact on performance.
Use easing wisely. On slower hardware it can create an “appearance” of lag.

Code Performance

Timeline

Use frame-based loops sparingly
Stop frame-based loops as soon as they are not needed
Where possible, distribute complex blocks of code across more than one frame

ActionScript

Use scripted animation sparingly
Avoid array emulation
Avoid doing string manipulation

Scripts with hundreds of lines of code will be just as processor intensive as timelines with hundred of frames of tweens
Evaluate content to determine whether animation/interaction can be easily achieved with the timeline, or simplified and made modular using ActionScript
Use frame calls to make ActionScript calls only as needed and avoid too many looping “if” statement movie clips that do not terminate

Web : Marco's New Activity

Coding : noScale

2006-03-06T10:39:00.000+07:00

One thing if you used to worked with Emulator, you can test your application to many handset available on Flash 8 Mobile Emulator.Its equiped with different device profiles. Most Nokia have 176 * 208 (3230,6260,6620,6630,6670,6680 etc), but Nokia N-90 has 352 * 416.So it will be a problem if we like to test out on N-90.It will be scalling up and looking bad.

So if you want to support both device we'll have to use

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
or you can trace it size with
trace ( _root._xscale);trace ( _root._yscale);trace (Stage.width);trace (Stage.height);
and you can set the display location by Stage.align = "TL", it will moves the swf to the top left corner.

Stclaus1 post on FLash Lite grups with his opinion ; "The second solution is to leave stage as is (Stage.scaleMode = showAll) with no content change. But there is problem of the final
output which will be displayed on N90 handset and its distortion.
I am using only dynamic textfield and device font."
While Richard give a simple and powerfull FLA file to test this issues. You can download here.

Handset :Adjust Memory Usage on Device Emulator

2006-03-06T10:11:00.000+07:00

When we develop application to Flash Lite 1.x, we should consider the file size of it.Emulator would do his job to give us warning when we forgot about this.It just like when we design website on 90's :D
But Flash Lite 2.0 now become more potential to create bigger application or game.With Flash 8 we can adjust adjust memory usage on device emulator.Just go to ;

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Mobile\Devices

We can tweak the config of XML file.For example Nokia 6680 is set to 1024 (1 Mega),so you can pumped it up to 2 Mega.And your application would work great both in Emulator and Phone.

Embedding Flash Lite in Mobile Pages

2006-03-02T15:28:00.000+07:00

For some reason, my friend trying to publish our swf file to mini wap site.And it take XHTML tags to apply it.Well, im not kind of familiar for coding with wap site.

So i go through googgle to find help.It took me to Richard page.Nice tips of using Dreamweaver 8 to embedded flash file to specific type. It have capability to set page into XHTML mobile1.0.
And here are the tag ;
Richard say : that this doesn't work on all phones, only phones with the Flash player integrated as the plug-in, such as most Japanese i-mode handsets and according to the Nokia emulator at least, the new wave of Series 60 (ed 3) phones soon to be released. On our developer installs this still prompts us to click the Flash movie to open it.
