Flash Lite 3

Is there a version of flash i should be using with the 6.1 build? Sorry i am pretty new to this, and the only post i found was from oct. of last year. Has anything changed since?
Thank you

Flash is not required for windows mobile, so its not a question of should you, its personal preference. The latest version of Flash lite is 2.1, which is pretty old. Flash lite 3 is out, but not available for windows, and unfortunately it doesn't look like adobe will be releasing it for windows mobile.

thanks ... thats what i have been reading, but i guess i was hoping i was wrong

Nope, I've had & posted several of my communications with the folks at adobe. They are NOT planning on a windows mobile release. I wonder if that has anything with the fact that MS is developing a rival technology, hmm?

forget about flash lite 3. We'll be using SilverLight mobile soon

That was what was I referencing...However, this is MS so I think "Soon" can be taken out of the equation. Think "Deepfish", could've just named that one "Deep Sixed".

Microsoft to license Adobe's Flash Lite
Posted by Tom Krazit | 6 comments
Even though it has plans to release a competing technology, Microsoft has agreed to license Adobe's Flash Lite technology for its Windows Mobile operating system and browser.
The two companies are expected to announce Monday that Microsoft has signed a license to use Flash Lite and Reader LE in future Windows Mobile handsets as plug-ins for Internet Explorer Mobile. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, such as what the companies plan to do when Microsoft releases Silverlight for Mobile, a competing technology.
Flash Lite is a stripped-down version of the ubiquitous Flash video player that allows mobile handsets to view Web sites created with the Flash technology. Think of Flash Lite as a slightly older version of Flash; the most current version of Flash Lite can't properly display Web sites created with the newest version of Flash, Flash 9, but it works with sites created using older versions of the technology.
As smartphones become more and more common, people are starting to get fed up with the basic Web surfing experience offered by many phones. They want something that looks more like a PC experience, with rich graphics and video. But that's hard to duplicate on a device with a smaller screen, less memory, a slower processor, and battery life requirements.
Enter Flash Lite. "Past technologies have failed trying to get into mobile by cramming a desktop experience into a mobile device," said Anup Murkaka, director of technical marketing for mobile and devices at Adobe. "The technology has to bend to the use cases, rather than the use cases bending to the technology."
Microsoft's Derek Snyder agreed. "One of the hallmark experiences on any smartphone is the Web browsing experience," said Snyder, a product manager with Microsoft's mobile-communications business. Strengthening that experience, as well as adding support for PDF documents through the Reader LE license, was the motivation for Microsoft to make the deal, he said.
Flash Lite has several limitations compared with regular Flash, beyond the inability to support much of Flash 9. Apple CEO Steve Jobs rather emphatically declared his disdain for Flash Lite at Apple's annual shareholder meeting, saying Flash Lite was "not capable of being used with the Web." Murkaka declined to comment specifically on Jobs' put-down, but noted that Flash Lite ships on 500 million mobile devices.
He did acknowledge that developers using Adobe's Flex tools can't build Flash Lite Web pages, although the newer CS3 suite of tools does support Flash Lite.
But one huge advantage of Flash Lite is that it's currently available for mobile devices. Microsoft's Silverlight for Mobile is not.
Silverlight is Microsoft's attempt to rein in on Adobe's position in the Web development market with Flash. Microsoft is fighting an uphill battle, though, in trying to get Web developers to build sites using its technology as opposed to Adobe's.
Earlier this month Microsoft said it wouldn't have a mobile version of Silverlight out until later this year. A technical preview is expected to arrive in the second quarter, but no other details have been released. Snyder declined to elaborate on the time frame for a production version of Silverlight for Mobile.
With Microsoft's Windows Mobile team now having to meet a surge in demand for Web-friendly mobile phones, led by the iPhone, licensing Flash Lite makes sense as a "for now" solution, at least until the company's own dog food is ready. The iPhone has been able to capture mobile Web surfers without any support for Flash technologies, something that other mobile devices running IE Mobile or Opera's mobile browser will likely try to exploit later this year.
Eventually, Microsoft expects to support both Flash Lite and Silverlight on its Windows Mobile handsets. "Flash is, for a lot of people, something they've already invested in," Snyder said. Having support for the incumbent while it tries to get Web developers on the Silverlight team makes sense; "it's good to have both," he said.

Thank you for the scoop, neilson.

so, are we expecting WM7's interface will be Flashlite 3 based ?

WM7 will more likley WPF (silverlight) based. Everything M$ .net looks to be going this way (for now).

Microsoft says Windows Mobile will Support Flash

There's no doubt, Windows Mobile will support Adobe Flash and become a "desktop like" multimedia experience. The question is when.
Skyfire had better release their browser or there will be no use for it.

Based on the performance of past Internet Explorer versions--I'd say that Skyfire might still out-perform it. From various comments and reviews, I understand that Skyfire is remarkably fast despite the added Flash-support. Let's hope Microsoft gives them run for their money!

yea..i wouldnt be too worried if i was skyfire..microsoft hasnt gotten it right yet...what makes me think they will start to now?

The only thing missing from the smartphone/internet experience is adobe flash support. That accounts for a tremendous amount of web page viewing. People are tired of looking at text or empty boxes while viewing web pages from their phones. Microsoft already has their new browser, which was unveilled at CITA last April. It would seem logical to release an update by the first quarter of 2009. This is also the time for CES in Vegas 2009.
Some company will eventually offer adobe flash based viewing for windows mobile -- that's the good news.
Rim (blackberry) and apple (iphone) will probably not support adobe flash, even though apple is talking about adding it.

Full Flash 10.1 Player for WM phone

Today Adobe has announced their next generation of Flash player 10.1 will be available across the wide range of mobile phones out there, including WM. Indeed a public beta will be available for WM phones later this year. Another reason to love our WM phone.
Check out the announcement at: www.adobe.com
Note that this this the full Flash 10, not Flash Lite. And the player is the browser plug-in.

This, I presume, is the announcement you're referring to...?
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200910/100509AFPforMobileDevicesandPCs.html
There's an interesting omission, there. Check out the first paragraph:
A public developer beta of the browser-based runtime is expected to be available for Windows® Mobile, Palm® webOS and desktop operating systems including Windows, Macintosh and Linux later this year. Public betas for Google® Android™ and Symbian® OS are expected to be available in early 2010. In addition, Adobe and RIM announced a joint collaboration to bring Flash Player to Blackberry® smartphones, and Google joined close to 50 other industry players in the Open Screen Project initiative.

Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android, Blackberry, Palm WebOS, desktop operating systems... but no mention of the iPhone! I wonder if that's an accidental omission or if they genuinely won't be porting it to the iPhone for a while? If the latter, then that might help some other phone platforms to survive in the face of the iPhone juggernaut, which is no bad thing.

The iPhone is rather conspicuous by its absence, but that's no doubt down to Apple rather than Adobe.
The fact that flash let's you load dynamic executable content from those darn interwebs means that Flash 10.1 is pretty darn unlikely to ever appear on the iPhone. Of course with 95%* of Flash content being ads, it's unclear if this is a plus or a minus for Apple.
*according to an in-depth survey of myself.

Apples terms don't scripted languages on the iPhone. Unless Apple change the policy flash will NEVER be on the iPhone.

Adobe's Flash anyway. Apple has it's own engine I think. (but it of course is limited in what it can do)
Anyway, hurray for WM!

Reason why iPhone is not listed is because Steve Jobs would not allow Flash on iPhone. Apple is pushing its own Quicktime as a standard and would do anything to stop Flash being the standard.
Besides, supporting Flash would mean anyone can download and run a Flash apps without the need to go through the Apple App Store. Thereby bypassing Apple's total control of their platform.
So the above means that we won't see Flash on iPhone in the foreseeable future. At least not in its current form.
Now there are some developers who are writing a compiler that would compile a Flash app into native Apple app. But that is another story.

No, the Flash app is a compiled app (compiled into binary code).

Wire disagree with you and so do Apple.
REASON 1:

Now....
Blackadder, its notthing to do with Quicktime. Its a technical issue and the way Flash allows extra code to be run outside of Apples control and the way it executes it (See reason 1 & 2 above and the next paragraph to clarify).
Besides, supporting Flash would mean anyone can download and run a Flash apps without the need to go through the Apple App Store. Thereby bypassing Apple's total control of their platform.

This is the second of two reasons and with this you are correct!
That all said, looks like we might ALL be wrong (in a sense)!
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/confirmed_apple_and_adobe_coll.php
It looks like Adobe have written a Compiler for Flash code allowing developers to compile there Flash code thus allowing them to be submitted to the App store for approval.
At its worldwide developer conference in Los Angeles, Adobe said it would be releasing Flash for mobile platforms including Microsoft Windows Mobile, Palm’s webOS and Google Android. But don’t expect Flash to come to the iPhone’s Safari mobile browser. Instead, Adobe is adding support to its Flash Professional CS5 developer kit to convert software written in Flash into standalone iPhone applications.

Reference: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/10/iphone-flash/
i.e change them from interpreted to compiled. Just like a normal EXE for example instead of a BAT file.

Sorry Monty Burn. The fact that Apple does not accept Flash is not because Flash App is an interpreted code. Flash App is compiled as binary code.
That fact that Flash CS5 can publish as native Apple code simply means that Flash CS5 can be used as a development tool to create Apple apps. And it has nothing to do with the Flash runtime though.

Ifits compiled, why do flash sites NOT work without a flash client being installed?
Maybe its only partialy compiled?
Either way, if you take the time to read the links I grabbed or even did some of your own googling you would quickly find that these TWO reasons are commonly and REPEATEDLY cited as to why Flash is currently not allowed.
Compiled? You better explain that to Apple as they keep using the Interpreted clause along with "no control".

Windows Phone 7 doesn't support flash.

thanks for replying, but what about the mango release does it include flash support .

I think it doesn't. It gives better support for browsing (html5 and i think Silverlight). Other than that, nope, nothing.

HTML5 support has been added in Mango. Flash will never be an added functionality to the phone.

You get flash in windows 7 but not windows 7 phone seems pretty stupid to me, because they have the right hardware to support e.g. CPU.

I dont think it's stupid. It has to do with licensing and the fact that flash is a competitor. Furthermore, flash is starting to become defunct and HTML5 is becoming the new standard. Microsoft is even starting to embrace html5 and say the hell with Silverlight.

What is "windows 7 phone?"
There's Windows 7, which is a PC OS, and there's Windows Phone 7, which is phone OS. They share the word "Windows" and the number 7 in their names, but they are not the same thing. In particular, Windows Phone 7 is not a mobile version of Windows 7.

It also seems to be an issue with Adobe even creating a Flash engine to work on the WP7 platform. They have supported Android and that is it as far as mobile.

Yeah it would require access to some low-level api that MS isn't willing to expose. I'll say they may have been able to get flash working on Nodo, but since Native code is disabled in Mango.. that's a DEFINITE NoGo ( )

Flash would also be another attack vector for the platform, over which Microsoft would have no control - it will solely depend on updates provided by Adobe. So a more Microsoft-based sandboxed environment, this problem is avoided.
Besides, I think soon enough we will see a migration to non-flash content for a lot of popular resources (e.g. YouTube, ScribDB, Vimeo), so spending time on implementing a 10+ year old technology inside a modern platform would not make much sense when much more attractive alternatives are available.

No flash support.....one of the reasons I left wp7. Among complete control over my device. I loved wp7 concept but y'all will never have total control over your devices.

[Q] Any hope for Silverlight on Android

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi GT-N8013. I would like to be able to watch live television coverage from CNN. Presently, they (CNN and Google) say that their app does not work on this device and they will not advise when, or if, this problem will be resolved.
Looking for an alternative solution, I turned to some apps that still run Flash Player, such as the UC Browser. I thought that I was getting close to getting the CNN website to load within UCB (as it was mimicking a desktop version), until it requested that I install MS Silverlight. Well, so much for that.
It seems that there is no equivalent to running Silverlight on the Android platform. Apparently, some time ago, there was a Moonlight project, but that appears to have come to a permanent halt based upon what I believe to be threats of litigation from M$.
So my question is whether this project may have come back to life in a different format? I can't imagine that I am the only GT-N8013 that has an interest in using the device from time to time to watch current events on CNN (or other live media cable networks). It seems to work fine on My Droid Razr Maxx XT-912, however I assume that it works there because of also being on the LTE network.
Does anyone know what the future holds for getting Silverlight working on Android?

Silverlight is a dead platform for most practical purposes. Even netflix is working to switch from it. I dont think that anyone would bother to build an Android port for it.

It's closed source from Microsoft and mono can give you a try the .net framework but not silvernight.

Like a workaround - you can use RDP or VNC and use a "normal" computer for opening silverlight pages...

it's a year later, and Microsoft is still reluctant to give an honest answer. However, if you go to their developer web site msdn.com and click on "I build Android apps", they take you to a page that tells you why and how to port your app to Windows 8. "Windows 8 is the fastest-growing mobile OS. Your app belongs here".
In other words, Microsoft considers *Android* to be a dead platform. Silverlight is closed source, so only Microsoft can port it. I think it's safe to say the chances of them changing their minds and porting Silverlight to Android after all, when they're taking such a bath on all Windows 8 platforms, is .... zero.
Is anybody still using Silverlight for web apps in 2013? Maybe this thread is moot.

I, too, am nneding Silverlight for my tablet. I am in a RN program that makes us test/quiz on a program called ATI that requires Silverlight to be able to answer and read test questions. I wish I had an answer for this. I know that if someone did figure this out that a great bounty would come from it. I would definitely donate.

acebeace had the best advice. Assuming you have access to a Windows PC, you can run the Silverlight app on the PC but use your tablet as a remote control: go to Google Play and search for "remote desktop". Note that there may be additional challenges if the PC and tablet aren't on the same local network; there are paid apps that handle this better. It's clear that Google is working towards their own version: see Chrome Remote Desktop.
If you don't have access to a Windows desktop, you might be able to find an online browser that supports Silverlight.
Finally, I've never tried this, but Onlive Desktop claims to have an Android app that connects to a virtual PC desktop in the cloud. Their browser was supposed to support Silverlight, but it's not clear if it actually does. Fortunately, there's a free trial.

Re-compiling Pipelight
Hi,
I have just been reading about a open-source project called pipelight and just thought that this could be re-compiled and used with ARM based devices (such as tablets).
If this is posible then you could have silverlight on tablets, alternatively re-compile moonlight (only problem with moonlight is that there is no DRM support).

Silverlight on android

That gives us hope.

Pipelight uses Wine to run Silverlight on Linux based OSes. While there is some work being done to run Wine on Android, the binaries for Silverlight would still need to be rewritten for ARM. These aren't open source, I think it's way too simplistic to think those could be just "compiled" for ARM.
Unfortunately, I think we'll just have to wait until HTML5 completely supports DRM and the content providers make that switch. It's very irritating to see how they've chosen such a biased and proprietary system at the moment.
