A new video has been added to the “Developing with Flash Lite” series – “Accessing the Camera using Nokia API Bridge“.
Nokia have begun to open up the API Bridge used by WRT widgets to Flash Lite developers, giving them native ActionScript classes to access hardware APIs for the camera, sound recording, and file upload. In this episode we dive into a demo of how to access the camera using ActionScript and Nokia’s API Bridge.
Download the demo files from here and the API Bridge class files and documentation here.
Really nice example. I have used Kuneri for accessing phones features. Now it is time to test all of these Nokia API Bridge possibilities.

Thanks Pasi. From what I’ve seen, and no disrespect to the Kuneri guys, this is a simpler process particularly for Flash developers coming to the mobile platform and not having a great handle on things like SIS packaging, plug-ins, content UIDs, signing, etc. I’m hoping that Nokia roll out more access in this way to other device features, but camera access and file upload is a great place to start.
