There is a new Adobe DevNet technical article entitled: “Build a YChat! Instant Messenger application using Flash Lite for mobile devices”.

“More than ever before, people are using handheld devices—such as cell phones and PDAs—to connect to the Internet and communicate electronically with others.

In this article, I have provided step-by-step instructions for building a robust instant messenger application with Flash Lite technology.

The instant messenger client application interacts with the IM Chat server to display and deliver chat content on a mobile device. I have developed the YChat! Instant Messenger client using Flash Lite 2.1. It is a Yahoo messenger chat client, which uses a proxy server developed using a Java Servlet to communicate and interact with the Yahoo IM Server.

This article will highlight how to create a rich user interface and integrate common chat features, such as user authenticated login, custom status settings, retrieval of buddy list information, sending and receiving chat messages and dynamically displaying data on a mobile phone using Flash Lite technology.

It also demonstrates how easy it is to send and receive information from the server and how to retrieve information from the server using XML.

I’ll also describe the process for transferring files from the YChat! client to the server with the help of the KuneriLite Plug-in.”
