webDU 2006: Creating Flash Lite 2 Video Applications
webDU 2006It's taken longer than I wanted to but my "Creating Flash Lite 2 Video Applications" presentation and source files are now available for download (13MB zip file).

I had an awesome time at the webDU conference in Sydney back in early March and the overall vibe from everyone was very positive. Definitely worth checking out next year as I'm sure Geoff and team will do a fantastic job again.

This presentation and source files were meant to give developers an overview about the new device video features in Flash Lite 2 and ideas they can use to start creating their own video based applications.

By the way, I'll be providing more sample files over the next few weeks both for Flash Lite 2 and 1.1.

Bill - we're a content development company doing a ton of work with Flash on the desktop. We're struggling to figure out how to 'port' or just create simple 'autoplay' kind of demos/movies for Pocket PC. Scoured the Adobe website but it's not clear whether there's a simple 'converter' or whether you need to develop natively in a 3rd party tool, or otherwise. Appreciate any pointers - e.g. we suspect there's either a simple plug-in or other tool that one can use to design Flash movies for Pocket PC. Thanks in advance.

Good question. I'm sure there's a third party tool out there to simplify the process, unfortunately I don't know what it is. I've seen examples where a developer was able to get their Flash app to start up with the PPC OS. There isn't anything native from Adobe to do this, just some existing tips and tricks found on Pocket PC discussion forums. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hello,
have you taken a look at mdm Zinc Pocket PC Edition?
http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/pocketpc/
I don't have any experience about it, just seen its website - perhaps something you could use.

Hi Bill
I have question about System.capabilities.audioMIMETypes["audio/midi"]

in the help said we can use System.capabilities.audioMIMETypes["audio/midi"] to check if the moblie supports midi.

my code below
if(System.capabilities.audioMIMETypes["audio/midi"]){
trace("midi")
}

I have tried it in the flash but get faild.
Also I tried to use trace(System.capabilities.audioMIMETypes["audio/midi"])
but I got undefined

is this a bug or something I made was wrong?

thanks
Liang

Dear Bill

I want to ask how can I add a scrubber/progress bar in a flashlite based video?

Thanks
