Finally I got time to write my first article in to forum nokia wiki. APIBridge has been there for a while for Flash Lite and JavaScript developers. In my first article I will demonstrate how to capture image, video or audio in Flash Lite 3.0 based devices and how to send those files to server side. This can be done with Flash Lite and ActionScript 2.0 in a few lines of code. You can find FLA and PHP source codes at the bottom of article page in forum nokia wiki.
Here is a direct link to wiki page.
Mark has created his first AS3 app - Helisso - A Flash Lite application packager for Symbian devices. With this tool you can create SIS packages for Symbian devices in Windows or Mac. Yes you read it right in Mac without installing any Symbian SDK. Excellent Mark!
There are a lot of new articles about Mobile RIAs with Flash technology in Adobe Developer Connection:
- Delivering video for Flash Player 10.1 on mobile devices
- Authoring mobile Flash content for multiple screen sizes
- Design tips for creating mobile RIA
- Flash Player 10.1 Rich media experience go mobile
Flash Player 10.1 is now coming to all major devices out there. So many new screen sizes with landscape and portrait orientations and so on to handle 
in Flash based applications and web pages. It is good to start reading and learning best practices now.
SpeedTaps was approved to the Appstore. I made it with Flash CS5 beta and published it to iPhone. I will write more information how to create iPhone applications with Flash CS5 later when NDA is over.
SpeedTaps displays random colors faster and faster. Player must press right colors in right order, if player selects a wrong color the game ends. In SpeedTaps player can practice in following modes: beginner, medium, hard and expert but only in the game mode score is accepted to global highscore list.
I know the game is quite a small, but I wanted to see this whole mess with certifications and so on.. but now it is time to start make a real projects with Flash CS5 to iPhones
Can you beat my highscore?
Download SpeedTaps.
There are really nice video tutorial in gotoandlearn.com which shows how easy it will be to use Flash CS5 to compile your Flash applications into native iPhone applications. Tutorial length is about 15 minutes and it shows whole process from starting iPhone application profile to testing content in real iPhone device.
