Opis

It's always great to see people's faces when they copy their first Flash Lite applications or games onto their phones and press Run. The reaction is usually, "Wow " Even something that would appear trivial when viewed on a web site somehow looks wholly impressive when running on that little color screen in your hand. By picking up this book, you're guaranteed to experience this moment for yourself. The aims of this book are to build on your current skill level--whether you're a beginner with no experience with Flash or an advanced coder with years of web programming prowess--and to give you the skills you need to create great content for mobile devices. At first, mobile Flash development might seem like a no brainer; you may have heard that you can just throw your Flash at the phone, and it just works--that's only half true. Creating content for devices carries with it a world of new limitations and possibilities, and it may require you to change how you think about users. On top of that, you are given new functionality to play with that can enrich the experience and give users what they really need, wherever they may be at the time.
