In the Flash Lite 2.0, we have to use different way to access the button event.First, if you need to use the softkeys, you have to write down the code as below to enable it.fscommand2(”SetSoftKeys”, “Left”, “Right”);Then we need a KeyLinstener:Object to access the button event and define the behavior.var keyListener:Object = new Object();keyListener.onKeyDown = function() { if (Key.getCode() ==

In Flash, we use getURL( ) to open a webpage or send a Email. It also works in the Flash Lite 1.1.For the mobile phone, getURL( ) has more functions.make a call: getURL("tel:0800080080");send short message: getURL("sms:0943434454");send multimedia message: getURL("mms:0943434454");If you would like to know more, you can refer to the official document.Flash Lite 1.x ActionScript Language

Currently, Flash not support using MIDI file directly.This type is the smallest audio file, so it very familiar for the mobile device.It only record the data, if your device support 40~64 audio track then it is as good as MP3 file.If you use Macromedia Flash MX 2004 to create your Flash Lite content, you need a Flash Lite Bundler to let Flash Lite recognize the formats like MIDI, 3gp..supported

It is very easy to use input text, just setup the text field to input text. Some mobile developers will define the maximum of the text field, so we need to define the maximum characters' value, and it could be workable.But there is a problem, because it won't focus on the input text field directly. User need to press UP/DOWN to set it focus, as below right state. If the text field as left, it

Dynamic text and input text in the Flash Lite also have the function including fonts, but it will increase the file size, you need to do some evaluations, especially when you use Chinese.Below means include numbers 0-9, ":", and "/", it will increase 2-3 kb when export to swf file.You can select "Auto Fill" to add the characters used in this text field, but if you dynamic provide data to it, and

We could use Action Script to scroll the dynamic text field. Create a dynamic text, choose multiline, and open "Text" pull down menu and choose scrollable. Paste/Input contents in it and set the var to "content".You can use slash or dot syntax,If you use slash syntax, just write down below Action Script in the button.on(keyPress "＜Up＞"){tellTarget("/"){content.scroll--;}}If you would like to use

Flash Lite only allow to use the Instance Name of MovieClip, if you would like to control it's property. You can use slash or dot syntax. If there is a MovieClip named Cube in the stage, and you would like to control it move up when you press "Up" button. You can write as below,on (keyPress "＜Up＞") { setProperty("/cube", _y, _root.cube._y-10); }oron (keyPress "＜Up＞") {_root.cube._y=_root.cube._y-

When I try to add sound in the "Crazy Taxi", I found it will influence the performance. So I decide to use "vibrate" to be the feedback when user hit the obstacle.Flash Lite has two actions about the vibratefscommand2( "StartVibrate" , time_on , time_off , repeat );fscommand2( "StopVibrate" );Use "StartVirate" to start vibrate, the time_on means when to start the vibrate, the time_off means when

Flash Lite 1.1 didn't support "hitTest", so it is difficult to create the game which needs test hit. Someone will try to use objects' _x, _y, if two objects _x and _y are the same, and we could say they are hited. In this way, you need to use lots of conditional statements, if there are lots of objects need to check. It might be influence the performace, might let mobile phone out of memory.In

You need more carefully when you deal with graphic in the Flash Lite. Because mobile device doesn't like PC which has powerful CPU and enough memory. If you use too large bmp file or too many vectors, your content might not be executed normally.For example, graphic in the below.Left car use png file, and right one use vector. When I export the swf file, the file size for the left is 21.6KB and

You don't need to create a Date object, and you can get the Date/Time value in the Flash Lite. Just use the fscommand2 it provided.fscommand2( "GetDateDay" );fscommand2( "GetDateMonth" );fscommand2( "GetDateWeekday" );fscommand2( "GetDateYear" );fscommand2( "GetLocalTime" , "time" );fscommand2( "GetTimeHours" );fscommand2( "GetTimeMinutes" );fscommand2( "GetTimeSeconds" );fscommand2( "

Flash Lite also support three kinds of text,Static textDynamic textInput textIt will support the Unicode in the Flash Lite 2.0, before that, Flash Lite 1.1 player need to set the language when it implement in the mobile phone. When the mobile phone set language to Big5, it means you can use Traditional Chinese and English. Currently, Flash Lite 1.1 support below languages. You can use GetLanguage

Today, we will talking about the load..( ) in the Flash Lite.It support four ActionScripts:loadMovie( );loadMoiveNum( );loadVariables( );loadVariablesNum( );Currently, I use loadMovie( ) to separate the file, and use loadVariables( ) to provide the strings to support multi languages. There is one thing I need to notice, DON'T use load..( ) in the same frame, because the second one will unworkable

We need to use call( ) to substitute for the function( ).You can write down the ActionScripts in the frame and define the frame label. When you would like to use, just write down,call("FrameLabel");If this frame inside a MovieClip which in the scene, use " : " to connect the MovieClip's instance name and frame label. If you would like to trigger this action which isn't in the same level, suggest

Flash Lite only upport the MovieClip's instance name, if you would like to change the property or use the variable inside, and you can use the " _root.NAME ", but if you would like to control the playhead, and you need to use "tellTarget("/NAME" )".For example, if you would like to control a MovieClip which is called "menu" jump to the frame 2, you have to write,tellTarget("/menu"){gotoAndStop(2)

If you would like to define the UI/Content for the Mobile phone, you need to consider how to use the hardwares button to control it. In the Flash Lite, we can use "Button" to detect these buttons event.Below are the buttons already defined in the Flash Lite:4 ways navigation keys: on(keyPress " ＜Up＞"){ } //Up/Down/Left/RightLeft softkey: on(keyPress "＜PageUp＞"){ }Right softkey: on(keyPress "＜

Macromedia use Flash Lite in the Mobile device, especially for the mobile phone. Currently, it only allow to use the ActionScript before Flash 4. It's difficult for me in the begin, because I start use from Flash 5.For using the Flash Lite to create the MMI (Man Mechine Interface) in the mobile phone. I need to go back to study the old programming method. Flash Lite didn't support array, function
