22.12. The Flash Lite Development Community
Problem
You want to see what other developers are creating with Flash Lite and share your Flash Lite projects with the world.
Solution
Visit the Macromedia Flash Lite Exchange.
Discussion
As of the writing of this book, the Flash Lite Player is mainly installed on handsets provided by two major Japanese carriers. Despite this fact, the global Flash developer community is preparing for the expansion of Flash Lite’s reach by developing content that both highlights Flash Lite’s key benefits and features and tests its capabilities. Because a handset’s processor, display, and memory capabilities are far inferior to the average desktop computer, Flash Lite developers often need to implement creative workarounds and methods to achieve the effects they desire. For example, video is not supported at all in Flash Lite 1.1—one alternate method developers have used to simulate video is to break the movie into .jpeg images and arrange these images on the timeline.
You can keep abreast of Flash Lite development techniques and applications and even submit your own applications for QA review and then post at the Macromedia Flash Lite Exchange. Follow the “Flash Lite Exchange” link at:
