"YES" and "NO" in Flash lite 1.1 enabled Phone

New Phone makes the market in craze
Abode built "Flash Lite" more accessible in there latest versions

But still there have a huge number of Flash Lite 1.1 enabled Handset models in the market and as the price of mobile is reducing day by day the people are interested to buy smartphone in lower prices, which have the Flash Lite version 1.1.

So, there is a huge scope making applications in Flash Lite 1.1. But as I look in the forums, developers and new comers has many queries about (What can Fl 1.1 do?) and (Give a handhold example of Fl 1.1 ).

That is the reason I come to this thread, so that the people can easily get the know how and can built there applications for the FL 1.1 enabled Handset.

Everyone can post their experience about Flash Lite 1.1.
What and how can Flash Lite 1.1 do?
And, Whats cannot?

So, by this people can easily understand about the ability of the application by Flash Lite 1.1.


Example:
Flash Lite 1.1 cannot load .jpg file directly in the flash movie.
you have to import a .jpg file and make a .swf file (xyz.swf)
Then make another movie (main.swf) to load that (xyz.swf) by using the following script:

loadvariablesNum("xyz.swf",1);

or, if you want to load that (xyz.swf) movie into a movieClips then do this:

make a blank movieClip with a registration point in the top left corner so that the xyz.swf can load on the same x y "0" position into the blank movieClip.
name that blank movieClip (xx_mc) and put the following script in the first frame action:

url="xyz.swf";
loadVariables(url,"xx_mc");

The xyz.swf will load inside the "xx_mc" movieClip.

Your turn next

In Flash Lite 1.1 action script eq and == do same function, but == is more powerful than eq function. In the main time line eq works well but inside of a movieclips eq doesn't work. You have to use == instead of eq in your script

In Flash Lite 1.1

eq is for comparing text
== is for comparing numbers

Someone just check and put their comment

And post other "Yes" and "No" in Flash Lite 1.1

Welcome Every body

NO: you can’t create a function with Flash Lite 1.1. Back to the go to and call days :)

Flash lite 1.1 is based on Flash 4 (ActionScript pre-1.0)
Support for device video -- No
Support for data download -- Yes (text, value-name pairs only)
Support for image download -- Yes (inside a swf-file only)
Support for saving data on the device -- No
Support for arrays -- No (workaround available)
Application types -- Standalone, wallpaper, screen savers (depending on the device)

Today I talked to Vodafone for the issue of sim number or phone number into flash lite application
My question was "What is the way to get sim or phone number into flash lite application?"
Ans Vodafone: There is no way to get the phone number as this information is not shareable to others as because this is very personal and it will only in between service provider and service holder. Might you can get sim number as because the device is get attached with it but we don't know how flash lite will get the sim number.

Conclusion: This is not the problem of Flash Lite 1.1. There is no direct way to get the sim info into flash lite unless you take help of other core level languages.

May it help to Flash Lite Application Developers

In Flash Lite 1.1 menu building is a very fascinating thing
There are many tutorials also to help developers to study

Here is a handhold example of a dynamic vertical menu in flash lite 1.1
grow more----

help others to help yourself

thank you

feel free to ask any questions about this post

Hope somebody will post here the other actionscript base menus vertical scroll menu horizontal slide menu ...... looking for next

A simple script of signal meter

maxsig=fscommand2("GetMaxSignalLevel");
sig=fscommand2("GetSignalLevel");

signal._rotation= sig / maxsig * 145;
signal._xscale=100;
signal._yscale=100;


Here you have to create a movieClip and named the instance "signal"

if anyone want the source simply ask here for it

Enjoy

Here is the signal sample

Can anyone give more accurate code for this ?

any suggestion will help

this is an example to change the scene
but what is the procedure to keep the duplicate movie clip in the "Starting" scene , not in the "Welcome" scene?

thank you

suggestion will help

Flash Lite 1.1 device sound
The device sound implementation enables Flash Lite to play sound formats that are supported by a device operating system. In the Flash Lite 1.1 device sound implementation, Flash Lite does not play a device sound itself. Instead, it passes a copy of a device sound stored within a currently loaded SWF file to the device operating system for playback. Flash Lite 1.1 for S60 and Series 40 devices from Nokia supports playback of device sounds in the MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) format.
Note that Flash Lite 1.1 cannot load MIDI files directly. It is limited to playing MIDI files that are embedded within SWF files; however, for modularity, Flash Lite can dynamically load external SWF files containing MIDI files.

Tip:
When creating Flash Lite 1.1 content, you should consider using the MIDI format for sound because it is the only sound format that all Nokia Flash Lite-enabled devices support.


I tested in some Flash Lite 1.1 enable device to play some sound but after sometimes later the machine hanged.

The Flash IDE does not support MIDI sounds directly. Instead, you first need to import a WAV, MP3, or AIFF sound into a FLA to act as a placeholder or “proxy” sound that the IDE replaces with a MIDI file during the SWF testing or publishing process. Each MIDI file must have a corresponding proxy sound in the FLA library.

Flash Lite 1.1 for Nokia devices can start and stop MIDI sounds, though only one MIDI sound may play at a time. Flash Lite 1.1 does not have a dedicated command for starting sound. Instead, ActionScript is used to move the Flash Lite movie clip playhead to a frame containing a sound to start the sound, and the stopAllSounds() command is called to stop the sound.
To facilitate control over individual sounds, sound-only movie clips are often created as containers for sounds. Typically, a sound-only movie clip has a stop() command in the first frame to prevent the Flash Lite player from automatically playing the sound at run time, a MIDI sound in frame 2 with a label such as “sound”, and a gotoAndStop(1) command in frame 3 to reset the movie clip to frame 1, after playing sound. Resetting the movie clip to frame 1 makes the timeline ready for subsequent sound playback.
In the code example below, pressing the 1 key causes Flash Lite to play a sound by moving the playhead to the frame labeled “sound” in a sound-only movie clip named “soundmc”. Pressing the 2 key calls the stopAllSounds() command, which causes Flash Lite to stop the MIDI sound.
// play the frame labeled “sound”, containing a MIDI sound
on(keyPress "1") {
tellTarget("soundmc"){gotoAndPlay("sound");}
}
// stop MIDI sounds
on(keyPress "2") {
stopAllSounds();
}
Refer to the “Control Sound” SWF and FLA (included in the same package as this document) for an example FLA demonstrating interactive MIDI sound control. Press the 1 key to start or restart sound and the 2 key to stop sound.

any tips will help everyone

put your comments please

thank you

by making a menu in an application and run it from a folder or from localhost of your computer or mobile is totally different it you run it from your net server

I tested in some handset fl1.1
The result is I have to click twice to get the menu back or to see the content again.

If anyone have a better solution please help

thanks to everyone

To solve this issue:
you have to change the value of "/:loaded" variable to "0"
by that it reload the .txt again.

thank you all

128x160 pix makes a great impact in smart phone features and adobe will get a big business on it. In Nokia small screen phone adobe Flash Lite 1.1 runs extremely well including memory. Flash Lite 1.1 will make a good demand for mobile application. Developers can built database driven application on this small screen device with a large data table with horizontal scrolling features. And it is sure that it will not take more than 1 percent extra memory.

thank you everybody

Let me know, how far this thread and samples help Flash Lite 1.1 Application Developers. If this really help then give reply.
And post your advice with samples if possible.....

Thank You All

to use multiple drop down menu in one frame Fl 1.1 developers can use this kind of trick

thank you

After a shot time I'm going to post a sample of a simple theme with an application embedded in it. This is not a creation but surely for a client its is a really catchy thing as it is always on an active state in user's handset. Developers can also meet a great new market of customized applications. I personally feel that if there is an opportunity to pack the application for mobile in a low cost, then thousands of scope will grow for flash lite 1.1 platform.

To make themes for nokia we are looking for some more handsets to test.
Currently we tested on Sony Ericsson and it works.
I'll post it shortly.....

Post your comment

This is a simple concept of Multi Function Key in Flash Lite 1.1
any other suggestion will accept

Hello Everyone!

Hope all are well,

After a long time I'm here in this forum.

Actually this is for a development of a online management application in jsp.
I need this desktop web application on a mobile version, ether in J2ME or in flash lite 1.1 or 2.x.
I am looking for an example to connect flash lite with jsp, so that the application I build will get a rich platform of flash lite. I am working on J2ME Midlets to make it on Mobile but I want to develop it in flash lite as a Mobile application.

Help needed

Please

Regards

marlopax

Well marloplax,

I think you should start this question as a new thread so that it gets focussed amongst teh members here. What do you say. I am not awware of the answer and is excisted too to know abt this one.

Like PHP and ASP, JSP is also a server side programing language.

As we use PHP or XML to communicate with database or for an email service into Flash Lite, I want to use JSP instead of PHP.

There is no cause to use JSP, but I developed an Online Inventory Management Application on JSP for a Desktop Browser.

Now, I want this Application on Mobile device through Flash Lite, so that it can viewed as an Application on Mobile Device with a rich graphic content.

Probably, Flash Lite cannot interact with JSP, especially FL 1.1.

So I want to know, is there any other way to connect with JSP from Flash Lite?

Will any third party program needed for it?


Thanks

What happens if you multiply something like this in Flash Lite 1.1?
Example:
txt= 12.4;
trace(txt * 100);
or
txt= 12.9;
trace(txt * 100);

This might be a bug in FL 1.1

If you want 12.9 in a formated currency amount of 12.90 then the solution is given bellow:


<< Solution >>

amount = 12.9;
addDecimal = (amount + .000001);
intDecimal = int(addDecimal * 100);
countLastString = substring(intDecimal, length(/:intDecimal) - 1, length(/:intDecimal));
counFirstString = length(/:intDecimal) - length(/:countLastString);
firstDecimalString = substring(intDecimal, 0, /:counFirstString);
formatedAmount=firstDecimalString add "." add countLastString;

trace(amount);
trace(amount * 100);
trace(intDecimal);
trace(formatedAmount);

a Question to hp3 and to all who are here
txt= 12.9;
trace(txt * 100);

is this a bug in FL 1.1?

marlopax

txt= 12.9;
trace(txt * 100);

is this a bug in FL 1.1?

Any reference about this will help my development.

thank you
