Practical Flash Mobile: Tales from the Edge

DRD Interactive approached MXDU late last year about the possibility of developing some conference content for the mobile phone platform, delivered via the Flash Lite 1.1 player. Since that time they have been working on an application that delivers important information regarding schedules, speaker details, location information, and of course some light-hearted entertainment.

• Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of Flash.

Session Detail

Developed primarily as a demonstration tool, "MXDU Mobile" is a great example of a real world application for mobile development, and one that easily shows the rich and exciting world being opened up to Flash developers through the Flash Lite player. DRD Interactive's Managing Director and lead Flash developer, Dale Rankine, will run you through the process behind the development of the application, some of the considerations taken with the mobile platform, and some future prospects for this area of Flash development.
