Hey Sena It looks like I have to do a little more research between Flash 9 and FlashLite. I will do that tonight. Thank you.
Unfortunately I have the Sprint HTC HERO which as I recently found out is less open to find ROM updates. I will search for the Sense 2 that you referred to. I might get lucky. :-) I am doing a proof of concept right now for an app that I want to do. For my app to work I will need to interact certain system actions on the phone with code in Flash (actionscript 2 which FlashLite supports). I have not found a way for Java (i.e. an android app) to interact with actionScript directly. The bridge I found is javascript. ActionScript WILL interact with javascript. Java also interact with javascript as seen here with WebView. http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/ Check out the *WebViewDemo.* So what I am trying to do is when an action happens ( for example the phone ringing or other events on the phone) that triggers a call to javascript which will then in turn send an action to the actionScript within flash which will then perform an animation or something. If I can only find a way to actually display the flash content within WebView. I might be out in right field on this and if I am please feel free to give me a virtual slap around but this is the only way I can find to do what I want. -Chris On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 1:20 PM, Sena Gbeckor-Kove <s...@imkon.com> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > From what I kwow there are quite a few differences between Flash 9 and > Flash Lite.
