  • Page 7: Chapter 1: Creating Interactivity And Navigation

    Creating Interactivity and Navigation Macromedia Flash Lite 1.0 and Flash Lite 1.1 support user interaction through the device’s keypad, or through a stylus or touch-screen interface on devices that provide one. There are two ways to add key-based interactivity to a Flash Lite application. You can use the Flash Lite default tab navigation, or you can create a custom key-based navigation system.

  • Page 8: Keys Supported By Flash Lite

    Keys supported by Flash Lite In addition to the alphanumeric keys available on standard telephones, most mobile devices feature a five-way keypad, which let users navigate and select items on the device’s display as well as the Left and Right soft keys. A device’s soft keys are multifunctional keys that use the device’s display to identify their purpose at any moment.

  • Page 9: Using Tab Navigation In Flash Lite

    Using tab navigation in Flash Lite On desktop Flash applications, the Tab and Shift+Tab keys let users switch keyboard focus among objects on the screen. The object that has focus responds to further keypresses. In Flash Lite, the arrow keys on the device’s five-way keypad serve the same purpose as the Tab and Shift+Tab keys.
  • Page 10 Each navigation mode discussed in the following sections references a sample file that you can view in the Flash Lite emulator. Each sample file consists of the same three-by-three grid of buttons, as shown below. The only difference between the sample files is that each is configured to target a device and Flash Lite content type that support the navigation mode in question.
  • Page 11 About the focus rectangle By default, Flash Lite draws a yellow rectangle around the button or input text field that has focus. The focus rectangle lets the user know which object on the screen will respond when the user presses the device’s Select key. For example, the following image shows the focus rectangle drawn around a button that has the current keypad focus: Button with current focus and default focus rectangle...
  • Page 12 If your application contains input text fields, Macromedia recommends that you do not disable the focus rectangle, as it provides the only visual clue that an input text field has focus. For example, the following image shows an input text field that has the current focus:...

  • Page 13: Handling Key Events (Flash Professional Only)

    Handling key events (Flash Professional Only) In addition to using tab navigation between buttons and input text fields, a Flash Lite application can also respond to arbitrary keypress events. Not all devices and content types support all device keys. For example, on a device that supports two-way navigation (see “Modes of tab navigation”...

  • Page 26: Using The Soft Keys (Flash Professional Only)

    Using the soft keys (Flash Professional Only) A device’s soft keys are multifunctional keys that use the device’s display to identify their purpose at any moment. For example, in the following application, labels above the soft keys indicate that the user can press the Right soft key to view the next dinner special, or press the Left soft key to return to the application’s home screen: Soft key labels To use the Left and Right soft keys, you must first call the...
  • Page 27 For example, consider the following command call: SetSoftKeys fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Options", "Exit"); The following image shows the result of this command on an application running on an actual device in normal (not full-screen) mode: Available screen area in non-full-screen applications Soft key labels displayed by device If you enable full-screen mode—that is, if you call —the fscommand("fullscreen", true)
  • Page 28 In the Timeline, select the Content layer. Using the Text tool, create a static text field named Left (or text of your choice) and position it in the lower-left corner of the Stage, above the Left soft key on the device. Create another static text field named Right, and position it in the lower-right corner of the Stage, above the Right soft key on the device.
  • Page 29 In the Actions panel, type the following code: fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Left", "Right"); fscommand2("FullScreen", true); The two parameters of the command—Left and Right, in this case— SetSoftKeys specify the labels that Flash Lite displays above the soft keys when the application is not being viewed in full-screen mode.

  • Page 31: Chapter 2: Working With Text And Fonts

    Working with Text and Fonts This chapter describes how you can add static and dynamic text fields, and add input text fields to your Macromedia Flash Lite applications. This chapter contains the following topics: About text in Flash Lite ........... . 31 Using input text fields .
  • Page 32 About font rendering methods in Flash Lite To render text on a device’s display, Flash Lite can either use fonts that are available on the device or use font data that is embedded in the SWF file. Device fonts have the advantage of smaller SWF file sizes but give less control over the font display.
  • Page 33 In the Property inspector, in the Var text box, type nameVar. The value that you enter must be a valid variable identifier—the first character must be a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($), and each subsequent character must be a letter, number, underscore, or dollar sign.

  • Page 34: Using Input Text Fields

    Using input text fields Input text fields in Flash Lite, like dynamic text fields, let you get and set their contents at runtime with ActionScript. In addition, input text fields let Flash Lite applications get user input using the device’s generic input text dialog box. (Flash Lite does not support inline text input.) The following image shows an input dialog box on a Symbian Series 60 device: Input text field Device’s text input dialog box...
  • Page 35 The Flash Lite emulator mimics the features of the text input dialog box when you test your application in the Flash authoring tool. The following image shows the text input dialog running in the emulator: ‘ Text input dialog running in emulator For an example of using an input text field in an application, see “Text field example application (Flash Professional Only)”...
  • Page 36 For example, when a user edits a single line input text field, the device’s input text dialog box displays a single line input text box. The input text box scrolls horizontally if the user enters more characters than can display. The following image shows a device’s input text dialog box for a single line input text field: When a user edits a multiline input text field, the device’s input text dialog box expands as necessary to display all the text the user enters, as the following image shows:...
  • Page 37 However, in that case, the user won’t be able to see that the text field has keypad focus and won’t know to press the Select key on their device. Macromedia recommends that you do not disable the focus rectangle when using input text fields.

  • Page 38: Font Rendering Methods In Flash Lite

    Font rendering methods in Flash Lite Flash Lite can render text field fonts in any of the following ways: Use fonts that are available on the device You can apply a font to a text field that you know is available on the device, or you specify one of the three generic device fonts (_sans, _serif, or _typewriter) that are available in the Font pop-up menu.

  • Page 39: Flash Lite Rendering Quality And Anti-Aliased Text

No font data is embedded in the published SWF file.

  • Page 40: Embedding Font Outlines In Swf Files

    Flash Lite renders anti-aliased text using vector representations of font outlines. If you want anti-aliased text to appear as smooth as possible, you should set the player’s rendering quality to high. Rendering quality affects all vector content on the screen, not just anti-aliased text. The following figures show an anti-aliased text field (Arial, 24 point) rendered at high, medium, and low qualities: To maximize animation performance and frame rate—for example, during an intensive...

  • Page 55 To create a sound bundle file: Open the Flash Lite Sound Bundler application (FlashLiteBundler.exe) located in the Flash 8 install folder (for example, boot drive/Program Files/ Macromedia/Flash 8/ FlashLiteBundler.exe). The Sound Bundler appears as a floating window. From your desktop, drag the first sound file to be bundled into the floating window.

  • Page 56: Using Native Flash Sounds

    Click Save Bundle to save the FLS file. To exit from the Sound Bundler, right-click on the Sound Bundler window and select Exit. The next step is to add the sound bundle (FLS) file to your Flash document. The process is the same as adding standard device sounds to Flash documents, except that instead of specifying a single device sound file to replace the proxy sound, you specify the FLS file that you created.

  • Page 57: Chapter 4: Optimizing Content For Performance And File Size

    Generally, for mobile phones, this limit is not less than 1 MB. Because Macromedia Professional 8 does not provide a way to check a phone’s runtime memory consumption, Macromedia strongly recommends that you test all content on actual mobile phones.

  • Page 58: Animation Guidelines

    Test animations frequently on your target devices. Bitmap graphics Macromedia recommends optimizing bitmap graphics to 16 bits before importing them into Flash Professional 8. Optimizing your graphics reduces SWF file size and gives you more control over the final output. Also, ensure that bitmaps are imported at the size they need to be in the Flash Lite content.
  • Page 59 Bitmap versus vector graphics When you create content for mobile devices, it is sometimes preferable to use bitmaps instead of vectors because they require less CPU power to animate. For example, a road map of a large city would have too many complex shapes to scroll and animate well on a mobile phone if it were created as a vector graphic;...
  • Page 60 In the Compression pop-up menu, select one of the following options: Select the Photo (JPEG) option for images with complex color or tonal variations, such as photographs or images with gradient fills. This option produces a JPEG format file. Select the Use Imported JPEG Data check box to use the default compression quality specified for the imported image.

  • Page 61: Device Speed And Frames Per Second

    6 FPS; devices with the fastest processors can achieve a frame rate as fast 15 fps. During development, Macromedia recommends that you set the document’s framerate to best match the playback speed on the target device. This gives you an idea of how your content will run on an actual device with limited performance.
