Vibrate!

When I show my friends some of the flash lite menus created, they're always impressed when they see the theme that responds to key presses by vibrating the phone. We will look at how this works:

FSCommand2( "StartVibrate”, time_on, time_off, repeat )

Both time_on and time_off values are in milliseconds and signifying the duration the vibrate will or will not be functioning. If this command is not supported by the phone, it will return a value of 1 (otherwise 0).

You can see immediately that this handy function can easily be integrated into a flash menu system:

on(keypress "<left">){
//vibrate phone
FSCommand2( "StartVibrate”, 10,0,0);
//do something else
}

In the above code, the phone will vibrate once the left button is pressed. For a menu, you will most likely not repeat the vibrate, which is why repeat = 0. For rapid sucession button activation, the previous vibration will be stopped before the consequent one proceeds.
