I really enjoy receiving e-mails/comments from people who discover new and interesting things. The whole dynamic wallpaper with Walkman features has not really been covered on this site, mainly because my phone will not support them =(. Either way, I will try to get a newer phone which supports this and soon I will get some tutorials up and running.In the meantime, Martin has a pretty useful

I'm excited to announce that Flash Lite Tutorial is one year old! It just seemed like yesterday when I started learning about Flash Lite on my w300i. A big thanks goes out to all those who have supported me and my endeavours! School is keeping me busy at the moment, but I promise to have some new fun tutorials out in the summer!Regards,Phil

Hey guys - it's been a while since I've posted a tutorial. I've been terribly busy with my school studies, that I barely have time for myself, let alone write a tutorial. But now that I am done exams and the holiday season is upon us, here is my gift for fellow readers out there.

In the previous Password Protection Tutorial, we explored a simple solution to creating a password entry prompt that enables a certain degree of privacy when accessing their flash lite menu. I have received a couple responses from users wanting to know how to create a backspace function so that if the user accidentally keys in the wrong digit, they can 'backspace' and re enter something new.

Oman3D has posted a comprehensive tutorial on creating a simple flash lite 1.1 game using Flash 8/CS:This tutorial will teach you how to create a Flash Lite game playable on the Flash Lite Player version 1.1 - one of the earliest versions and most restricted, but the most widely spread version as well. Our basic game could be created without using the advanced features provided in later versions.

Is it possible to create functions in Flash Lite 1.1? I'm having problems getting it to work...This is good question. First off, Flash Lite 1.1 does not support functions. This is a major drawback, as applications, especially games use functions to impart versatility and efficiency. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem, and it is in the form of the function call():call(frame);To

When I start browsing around the internet to look for interesting flash lite applications for Sony Ericsson phones, the majority of results land on flash lite menus. Let's face it, they're slick, animated and aesthetically pleasing: who wouldn't want one? Everyone wants a cool flash lite menu to show off to their peers. I would've expected this potential area of interest to be booming at a

Let's take a rest from Flash Lite just for a minute. I just came across this really cool application called MeBoy: MeBoy is a Gameboy emulator for mobile phones (which means you can use it to play Gameboy games on a mobile phone). It works on phones with support for Java Micro Edition, specifically MIDP 2.0. Your phone manufacturer's web site can tell you if this includes your phone.This means

Lots of the new flash wallpapers out there feature cool randomized aesthetics which make it look really nice. In this tutorial, we will create a randomized ripple like effect using Flash Lite 1.1.

This new menu, called 'Aura' features my first menu with a circular icon motion (using a motion guide) as well as a nice analog clock in the middle. The beautiful icons used in this menu are not my own; they are from gakuseisean's iVista icon pack. Many thanks goes to him for giving me permission to include these

Can I create an array in Flash Lite 1.1?Unfortunately they are not supported. This has been a common question, as it is definitely an important component in creating icon menus as it drastically simplifies the process. However, what you can do is create a pseudo-array where you name variables using actionscript and a counter, like so:This will set the variable 'numbers1' equal to one:eval("

Is there a way I can create a stopwatch timer in FL 1.1?Yes, this can be done. The main function you can use is getTimer():time1=getTimer();This will return the time (in milliseconds) which has elapsed since the flash lite file has been loaded. In a typical stop watch, you will have a start, stop and reset button. We will create 3 button symbols representing each button and will act as button

Is there an easy way to convert FL 2.0 to FL1.1?Alot of the new SE phones coming on the market are starting to support FL2.0, which gives developers greater flexibility and power in creating flash lite applications.

Just a quick heads up, you are able to retrieve volume levels as well using FSCommand2. The algorithm for displaying volume levels is completely identical to that mentioned in the Battery Level/Signal Tutorial except for the fact that the FSCommand is different:status = FSCommand2( "GetMaxVolumeLevel" );status = FSCommand2( "GetVolumeLevel" );Using these two values, we can once again calculate

Vivek over at i2fly has posted a beautiful screensaver that features a clock along with themed wallpapers of the japanese flower sakura. I really like the theme as it is very simple elegant and professional:I've tested the 176 x 220 version on my w300i (128 x 160) and it runs quite nicely:

Many of you have been emailing me asking for a place to download Flash Lite Themes that are out there on the web for FL enabled SE phones (w300,w550,w850, etc). So I've decided to upload the ones I already have and share them with you. Note that I did not create these flash lite files, merely uploading them for your convenience. I've also uploaded a RAR containing the corresponding THM files that

We continue our frame rate profiles with the Nokia 6131. This is the first time we've looked at frame rates for a Nokia phone, the others have been for Sony Ericsson's w300i and w550i. Thanks to vivek at i2fly, he has provided us with some valuable information on the frame rate profile.The same test (rotating circle) is repeated except at different frame rates. The resulting time to complete the

In the previous Vibrate! tutorial, we had a taste of how you can make your phone vibrate after specific triggers (button presses). Wouldn't it be nice if you could get the objects on your stage to vibrate when your phone actually vibrates? It would provide a nice effect indeed! We'll take a look into how this can be done.Start off with a new flash file. In frame 1, we will put in some

After working on a few projects that had moving text, I decided to try it out on the ol w300i. Lo and behold, the frame rate is brutal and there's no way anyone would want a choppy animation when they're choosing items in a menu. So, I decided select "Use device fonts" in the properties of the textbox.After doing this, I am happy to say that the animation runs much smoother and actually matches

As per request from lithium3r, I've decided to write a short tutorial on how to create battery and signal gauges for flash lite applications. It is especially useful for those deciding to create flash lite menus, as that's one of the things you will usually see on them. We will take a look at creating a very simple battery gauge first.*NOTE: The FSCommand2 functions shown in this tutorial only

Been working on a new flash lite menu for SE phones. The major feature I'm implementing for this one is a full animated analog clock. I'm still deciding how the menu is going to work, but that shouldn't be too hard. Thanks to vivek for the preview:Stay tuned for more. I'll probably be posting a tutorial for this analog clock feature soon as well. Got ideas? phirewerkz[at]gmail[dot]com

I've been real busy lately, not a lot of time to work on this stuff. Anyways, I've finished up the Flash Lite Menu : Elements Icon Suite (uses Flash Lite 1.1, so should work on as many phones). This is a completely original flash lite menu that uses icons from the ever so popular Elements Icon Suite (http://pantoni.deviantart.com). Here's a quick preview:The menu is a slide scroller; don't mind

After showing interest in my frame rate profile benchmark, Andi, who owns an SE w550i decided to run the benchmark on his phone and collect some data. Thanks to him, I have the privelege to share the results with everyone, including the data in Normal and Fullscreen mode: From these graphs, you can see that the results are not much different from what I came up with for the W300i: Here's a

So what is a good frame rate to choose for flash lite animations? Does a faster fps necessarily mean a faster, more optimal animation? It's a balance between smoothness of the animation vs the capacity of the cellphone to render. Let's take a look at one example:Remember the Benchmark Animation Results? Well, all those tests were performed at 100fps. However, what happens if we choose different

IntroductionCreating flash lite menus is really a balance between visual aesthetics and possibly slowing down your menu due to the limited processing speed a cellphone has. As of lately, I've been wondering, do some phones run flash lite applications more efficiently than others? Although most applications are not visually extensive, I figured it would still be interested to find out which ones

Sooner or later, you'll be deciding on the type of GUI you'll be using in your flash application. One important consideration is the usage of vector versus bitmap images. On one hand, vector graphics, due to their mathematically derived functions, are able to be sized without much quality loss. However, when it comes to rendering vector graphics, it does take longer to render.For bitmaps images,

In the previous tutorial, How To Detect Button Presses. I didn't really cover much about the soft keys. The soft keys, on most phones, refer to the top left and right unlabelled buttons on your phone:These buttons are especially useful in navigation and would seem logical to include these in menu selection. Traditionally, the left soft key in a menu selects and activates that menu, while the
