[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GSLEON3:
Okay, I know the consensus is split on flash applications, but I've been trying to get the FL3 SDK from Adobe & have been told that they will not be developing FL3 for Windows Mobile. I thought this was completely absurd & urge anyone interested to complain to Adobe. If you're interested, here is the exchange I've had with Adobe::mad:

Hi George,

Thanks for contacting Adobe about your request for the Flash Lite 3 player.

We have available today the Flash Lite 3 Developer Edition that’s available on Adobe Labs:

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashlite3/

It should work on most Nokia S60 3rd edition or later devices; however we have only certified it to work correctly on the Nokia N95. For a complete list of these device models refer to the download page.

This player is provided for developers to start testing their own Flash Lite 3 content before the first Nokia devices ship with Flash Lite 3 pre-installed – which is scheduled for Q1 2008. The player is only the standalone player and can not be used for viewing SWF files in a mobile browser or for wallpapers and screensavers. Additionally re-distribution of the Flash Lite 3 player is not permitted and can not be bundled with a developer’s content.

Best,

Bill Perry

Sorry, I misunderstood. There are no plans to build a Windows Mobile version of Flash at this time.

Importance: High

I know it’s available for Symbian. Did you even read my message? How am I supposed to see if my system OS calls for Windows Mobile will work with my interactive flash wrapper using touch screen gestures with a Symbian Flash application? It won’t work. Symbian is a completely different device OS. What you suggest is like programming for PC using a MAC development kit. When will Windows Mobile FL3 be available was my query, even a beta.

Thanks,

George

To whom it may concern:

Greetings,

We are developing a 3d flash application for mobile work forces. Because of the ease & beauty of Flash developed programs we've chosen to base our design on Flash. I was wondering when we can expect a link or the Flash Lite 3 developer edition to be available. We are specifically focusing on the US market, even more specifically the Windows Mobile 6 platform. We are currently working with several HTC devices, the TYTN II is one of them. The devices we are currently focusing on are Windows Mobile 6 OS. I have an Adobe Account & was previously told that the Developer FL3 edition would be available in Q4 2007. Please let me know what further info is needed for acquiring this much needed tool so we can move forward with our wrapper for our product.

Sincerely,

George
