QTile 2 is addictive unique puzzle (Flash Lite based) game where you first have white base tiles which you can move around (using mobile phones arrow keys) and rotate (using mobile phones select key). There will be smaller colored tiles moving to game area and you have to catch and join them to base tiles. Collect four tiles with same color together like base tile to get points and this collected qTile will be removed. You can submit your best scores to global highscore list!
This is a new version of QTile game which I published to Playyoo Game contest at Jan, 2008. This new version supports Nokia Series 60 phones which has 320x240 or 240x320 screens and Flash Lite 2.0 or newer Player. There are also new features in game like: speed mode, reverse keyboard, randomized block colors, "jackpot"-tile, which can remove all your collected tiles and so on... and now there are excellent graphics made by Vivek! (Thanks!)
Can you beat my highscore?

Forum Nokia released new Flash Lite Components set a few days ago. The resource file contains four UI components (Button, List, Popup and ScrollBar), two data components (Contacts and Media), source files and lots of documentation. Installation of components is very easy, just download set from Forum Nokia, unzip it and browse "All Components.mxp" file in your computer and double click it. Adobe Extension Manager starts and installs all components to your Flash IDE. In Flash you can find components in Forum Nokia section of Components Panel and just drag and drop to your application.
I modified Nokia Forum's MyContacts demo to load Image names from my device to List Component. Image is show with MovieClip object when user clicks image name from List Component. I think these components are working really nicely and this is one good way to get organized components to the Flash Lite world!

You can now easily update your Nokia 5800 Flash Lite 3.0 player to Flash Lite 3.1 Player (Note: there are a few bugs found with the new 3.1 update) and start using new Flash Lite Device Object . The Device object is supported since Flash Lite Player 3.1 on S60 5th Edition and selected S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 devices. This Device Object is in addition to the earlier published Service object, which opens access for example to Contacts, Location and Messaging.
The new Device object has two methods:
- DisableAutoRotation - Disables automatic screen rotation on the device
- ExpediteConnection - Starts the network connection setup process for the Flash Lite application
DisableAutoRotation is just what many Flash Lite Developers wanted. Of course we can use AS code to "disable Flash Lite auto screen orientation/rotation on Nokia 5800: Kuneri" and so on but finally a good solution is available and it is really easy to use (only a few lines of code):
// use Device Object
import com.nokia.lib.Device;
// create a new Device Object
var deviceObject:Object = new Device();
// disable auto rotation
deviceObject.DisableAutoRotation(true);
Remember install the corresponding AS 2.0 class files to your Flash IDE before you create Flash Lite applications that use the Device Object.
