Consuming the Adobe developer news with Flash Lite 2.0
Consuming the Adobe developer news with Flash Lite 2.0
In a previous article, I showed you how to work with Flash Lite 2.0 – the latest version of Flash Lite for mobile devices such as cell phones. In this article, I’m going to show you how to consume an XML news feed using Flash Lite 2.0. I’ll create an application that consumes the Adobe developer news and displays one item at a time in a mobile phone. You’ll see how to configure the soft keys for the phone to move to the next and previous items.
In this tutorial, I’ll target the Nokia 6680 mobile phone. I’ll use the Flash Lite 2.0 emulator in Flash 8 to test the content. You will only be able to complete the tutorial if you have Flash 8 with the Flash Lite 2.0 update. You can install this by downloading it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html and double-clicking to install.
You can download the resources for this tutorial from the blue Properties box that contains the article PDF. There's a heading titled Code Download and you can click the Details link next to it to get the zip file.Note: If you have difficulties downloading the source files or PDF, you might have a problem with your cookies.
