On the networking side, you need to have a data plan for your phone. I've got Media Net through Cingular which gives me text, multimedia messengeing, pop email, and web access.
In Flash Lite 1.1, when doing a network request, it would throw a popup for the user, letting them know Flash needed to make a network request. While this is good because data plans have costs for each network request & amount of data, it was bad from a user experience point of view because if you downloaded 5 SWF's, that was 5 popups; really annoying. This is changed in Flash Lite 2 to only show 1 popup, and which point I'll choose MediaNet as the provider, and it uses that from then on. Really cool. ...slow, though, but I live out in the middle of nowhere. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Weyert de Boer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How does flash lite 2.0 handle network access Hi Hank, Flash Lite has a limit on the number of network requests, meaning you can only do five per frame and a maximum of ten (was four in 1.1) connections at the same time. You should be aware that this means all requests including XML.load() or loadVariables etc. The support of mp3 totally depends on the the host. IF the host doesn't support it, it's a no go ;-) Yours, Weyert de Boer > If I want to progressively download an mp3 and then play it, or I just > want to do an http access to grab some data does all of that work. > > Thanks > Hank > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > > > _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
