Installing and configuring authoring tools and device connections
Before we get started, be sure to apply the necessary updates and set up your device transfer capabilities. Refer to the Requirements section above to locate the appropriate installers and updaters.
Using Flash Professional 8 on Windows
-
Install the Flash Lite 2.1 Updater to enable export of Flash Lite 2.x content. To check if it's already installed, open Flash. Create a new Flash document, then choose File > Publish Settings… Select the Flash tab, and see if Flash Lite 2.1 is available in the Player Version drop-down menu (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Check the Flash Version drop-down menu in the Publish Settings dialog box to see if your installation of Flash Professional 8 has been updated for Flash Lite 2.1
- Install the latest device profiles with Adobe Extension Manager.
- Install Nokia PC Suite. This allows you to transfer SWF files to your Nokia test device over USB or Bluetooth connectivity in some configurations.
Using Flash Professional 8 on Mac with Bluetooth
- Install the Flash Lite 2.0 Updater to enable export of Flash Lite 2.0 content. Flash Lite 2.1 export is not supported on Flash Professional 8 on Mac.
- Install the latest device profiles with Adobe Extension Manager.
In Mac OS X, select System Preferences > Bluetooth. In the Settings tab, make sure Bluetooth is enabled. Also make sure the option to "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" is checked. This setting makes it easy to send SWF files directly to your Nokia device (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Make sure the Bluetooth status menu bar icon is enabled for easy access and connectivity with your mobile device
Close the Bluetooth settings dialog box and then use the
Bluetooth icon menu in the menu bar to "Set up Bluetooth device…" (see Figure
3).
Figure 3. Use the Bluetooth Connection Wizard to configure the settings to connect with your Nokia phone
Follow the steps in the Bluetooth Connection Wizard to discover and configure it with your Nokia phone. Be sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your device, and that it is set to "Discoverable" mode.
Using Flash CS3
Device Central, included with the Creative Suite 3 software, consolidates mobile device settings across all Adobe design tools and handles device profile updates differently.
- Open Device Central and click the option to Browse Devices on the welcome screen.
- Check for Device Updates by selecting Devices > Check for updates… and install the Profile update if necessary. Your default browser will launch, and you'll be prompted to login using your Adobe account.
- Window users should install the Nokia PC Suite. Mac users should setup the device with Mac OS X Bluetooth as described in the previous section.
