I can’t say I agree with all of them, but most …

Mobile Development, in general, is full of considerations and/or workarounds, so I wouldn’t take any of these as “rule of law” in every situation.

However, these are great suggestions, and things to watch out for when developing with Flash Lite.

P.S.

I will be in Belgium for Multi-Mania this year in May, so I look forward to meeting up with many of Belgium Flashers in the region.

Faisal has released a new set of Flash Lite components (called “Oxygen”) over on Forum Nokia’s Flash Lite wiki which can aid in concentrating on the core of Flash Lite applications instead of worrying about battery, signal, and other indicators.

Currently, there are 4 components for reuse, including:

• FPS-Meter
• Mem-Meter
• Battery Meter
• Signal Meter

The components are available for both Flash Lite 1.1, as well as Flash Lite 2/3.

Other components exist out there, scattered … (links elude me right now, but search) … but this new set of comprehensive indicator components will be a time saver; especially if you need a “cookie cutter” type UI … so you can concentrate on prototyping and/or developing the crux of an application, rather than on indicators!

So kudos and thanks to Faisal for getting a complete set out for development use (within the Nokia community).

Dave made a post about FOTB (Flash on the Beach), and also posted his slides from his presentation (Flash Lite + Mobile Development).

You can download it here.

You should also make it a point to check out FOTB, as (from what I hear from fellow Bostonians) it is a cool event.

A quick post, but my Flash Lite 3 slides from the recent BFPUG (Boston Flash Platform User Group) are now available over at slideshare. You can download them here.

For more information about Flash Lite 3, check out all the info over at Adobe … or check out my relevant blog posts.
