ADOBE FLASH LITE

(Redirected from Flash Lite)

'Adobe Flash Lite' is a lightweight version of Adobe Flash Player optimized for mobile phones and other devices. Flash Lite 1.1 supports Flash 4 ActionScript. Flash Lite 2.0, based on Flash Player 7, supports Flash 7's more powerful ActionScript 2.0. Both versions also support the W3C Standard SVG Tiny[1] (a mobile profile of W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics recommendation). The advantage over SVG is the ability to add audio and interactive elements without the use of other technologies such as JavaScript. Among the disadvantages, Flash Lite applications are not capable of communicating with Bluetooth, infrared, or the camera on a phone.

History


In 2005 Adobe completed its acquisition of Macromedia. At that time, Flash Lite had been available to mobile users in Japan and Europe for years prior to its availability in the United States. Docomo and AU KDDI were the first carriers to adopt Flash Lite in June 2005.
As a promotion for Mobile Flash, Macromedia conducted a Mobile Flash Content Contest. From the over 150 applications submitted, nine winners were selected in areas of Best Business and Productivity Application, Most Innovative use of Flash Lite, Best Animation, Best Business Application, Best Educational Content, Best Game, Best Interactive Content, Best Productivity Application, and Best Overall Use of Flash Lite. Contest Winners
In May 2006, the iriver U10 (later rebranded as the iriver clix) was released, and supported Flash Lite games and animation in a landscape layout.
In 2006, Verizon Wireless announced broad support for Flash Lite in the US.
In 2007, Adobe announced Flash Lite would support video.
