For the past 3 years or so I’ve been a member of the Adobe Community Expert program, which has been an excellent program designed to engage community leaders known for various Adobe technologies and platforms and provide ways for those people to reach the broader developer community. A big thanks to the Adobe team for including me again for another year, and this time under the newly re-branded banner of Adobe Community Professional.
I’m looking forward to a slight change of approach to the Adobe ecosystem this year with my new role at Vodafone Hutchison, and certainly as FP10.1 and a slew of new devices hit the market.
In this final episode of the Developing with Flash Lite series, we take a look at the main points surrounding the next stage of the Flash mobile platform – Flash Player 10.1. Find out what it all means for Flash developers creating rich mobile applications from 2010 and beyond.
I say this in the video, but wanted to also call it out here – a special thanks goes to Alan Tam and Mark Doherty at Adobe for their help in putting this video series together. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve had some great feedback from the community to say that it’s been worthwhile, which of course the main reason for doing it! Thanks everyone for watching, and maybe we’ll throw together some more videos in 2010.
Device Central is going through some significant changes and improvements to cater for a Flash Platform that is maturing and growing across multiple screens. In this episode, we take a look at an early pre-release version of Device Central CS5 and some of the new features particularly around Device Profiles.
I’m hoping to bring some more video tutorials on Device Central CS5 in the new year, as it progresses through the beta phase. I also have one more video to deliver in this current Flash Lite series, so stay tuned!
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.

A new video has been added to the Developing with Flash Lite Series – “Get to know Flash Lite for the Digital Home”.
Flash Lite for the Digital Home is the jumping point for application developers to move their existing skills and experience onto an entirely new screen – the TV! In this episode we outline the fundamentals of understanding Flash for TV, and some of the things developers will need to consider.
I'm currently the Experience Architect and Team Lead for the "Appland" team at Vodafone Hutchison Australia, based in Sydney. Views on this blog are my own and not that of my employer. More about me.
