One of the things that designers and developers new to mobile ask for our simple building blocks that they can quickly use in a Flash Lite application to help them save time and focus more on the appearance of the application.  In the web space there are components available for Flash and Flex developers to use to assist them in building applications and now there are some for Flash Lite developers.

Recently Forum Nokia released a set of Flash Lite 2.0 components that can be installed via the Adobe extension manager.  After installation you can find the 3 components (battery, dynamic list and signal) in the Component Panel (Window > Components > Component Panel) under the Forum Nokia category.


Included in the download are two sample files, one for a dynamic list and one for battery and signal. You can start using these example files and tweaking them for your application or just drag and drop the components into your application directly.

Since these components are for Flash Lite 2.x, that means you can use them on any device that supports Flash Lite 2.0 or higher, including 3.0 devices.

For more information about using these components refer to the help pages inside Flash Help (All Books > Forum Nokia Flash Lite 2.x Components).
