Flash Lite Performance Tips (internal)

Finally I have gotten around to gathering our internal tips for Flash Lite performance. In the files, mostly written by Adobe staff, you will discover strange Flash Lite oddities, bug work-arounds and tips for better coding for mobile devices.

The documents have been literally ripped from the internal wikis and therefore have a pretty informal writing style, so be warned, Adobe staff get frustrated sometimes just like you. Also in the zip file are some particularly good articles that we use and are pulled from the Internet, thanks to those authors who are named in their respective documents.

You can find the zip file over in the examples section.

N95 Accelerometer

Today Nokia research gave us a look into what really is packing on the N95 and I hope other S60 devices, an accelerometer. In case you aren’t aware accelerometers can tell if you’re running or rotating and lifting the device, the iPhone and many digital cameras make use of this to change the display orientation for better viewing.

I’m very excited about the possibilities for this and I hope we might even release a little code to get this data into Flash Lite. In the following Nokia demo you can roll the ball around and even make it bounce on the z axis.

Nokia S60 3rd Moving Ball Demo

Image Gallery:

  • Tilt the phone to move back and forward Send Image/App:
  • Literally throw content to a nearby phone
  • Zoom using the z axis

Contacts:

  • Throw a vCard at another phone:
  • Turn your phone on its side or upside down to go to silent (blatent theft of Nokia concept)

Games:

  • Endless possibilities here, Marble Madness!
