Using Flash Lite in Sony Ericsson Themes: view demo video

A video produced by Flash Lite evangelist Bill Perry demonstrates how Adobe® Flash Lite™ can be used in a Sony Ericsson Theme. Using the "ever changing" theme on the Sony Ericsson S500i phone, the video gives a demo of how the Flash Lite based theme interacts with various APIs related to the phone calendar function.



Certain items presented in this video are locked – such as building the Desktop screen in Flash Lite – and can only accessed with Sony Ericsson's permission.

Flash Lite support in Sony Ericsson Themes Creator tool
Flash Lite animations and graphics can be included in a Sony Ericsson theme by importing a SWF file to the Standby screen which is then displayed in the display area of the theme.

Exact emulation is delivered by the Themes Creator tool as it contains the same Flash Lite 1.1 and 2.0 players that are built into Sony Ericsson phones. By selecting Tools – Show Adobe Flash Lite player info in the tool's menu, you can verify the size of the imported Flash Lite animation and see this information in relation to the phone's heap memory.
