I just heard about this today ... but Bill Perry (Adobe), Nokia, Omega Mobile and Telephia, and y-fi will be speaking about Flash Mobile (including of course, Flash Lite) at the Mobile Monday in Los Angeles on Monday 22, 2007 at 6:30 PM (PST). Stop by if you're on the West Coast in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Here is some more info from Bill.
Just an FYI, but the forums are now up and running. Access them here. We may be changing the look and feel, and fiddling with the groups over the course of the next few weeks, so just be aware of that.
Alessandro Pace is giving an Adobe Flash Lite online live seminar: Connecting to external data services using Flash Lite. The seminar is on Wednesday, 24th January 2007 at 1:00pm - 2:00pm US/EST and free to register. Here is the agenda for the event:
| Title: | Connecting to external data services using Flash Lite |
| Speaker: | Alessandro Pace |
| Date: | Wednesday, 24th January 2007 at 1:00pm - 2:00pm US/EST |
| Description: | |
|
"You will learn the basic tools to start developing Flash® Lite™ content and explore the capabilities, API, and limitations of Flash Lite to connect and retrieve data from a remote location.
The presentation will look at the API of Flash Lite 1.1, 2.0, and 2.1 that allow connection to a remote location to retrieve data and media. We will compare the API and look at best practices to use these capabilities for various platforms. The Flash Lite 2.0 example uses these API to retrieve text, images, audio, and video from the Forum Nokia RSS feed and from a remote server. We will examine the various classes to retrieve data from a remote location, including get URL, LoadVars, MovieClipLoader, XMLSockets, and Sound and Video. We will also provide information on tools and data services." |

Just an FYI, but we have now posted the complete source code for the book under the downloads page (this now includes chapter 10 and 11).
Working with Nokia Series 40 Flash Lite content – Part 3: Creating a screen saver
Author: sjanousek
My 3rd article on the Working with Nokia Series 40 Flash Lite Content articles is now live and available on DevNet. This one covers Flash Lite 1.1 screen savers for Series 40 devices.
Incidentally, we cover creating Flash Lite screen saver content in Foundation Flash Applications for Mobile Devices (Chapter 7 - Flash Lite Mobile Entertainment). However, because at time of writing, these Nokia devices were not yet available, Nokia Series 40 isn't specifically covered ...
