Looking at Flash Lite


I recently bought a new cellphone, and it turns out that it supports Flash Lite 1.1. I thought I’d try it out– I’ve developed for cellphones before, using J2ME and BREW, but using Flash for mobile development seems much more appealing.

Alas, Flash Lite 1.x uses a very old form of ActionScript, one that I’d never used before. Things that are missing: Complex objects. User-defined functions. Arrays!!

Maybe I should have picked up a Flash Lite 2 phone! Oh well, it’s still worth looking at…
