Flash Lite features that BREW does not support

Manufacturers of BREW devices can limit the use of some Flash Lite features, which means that these features cannot be used on the device. Information about specific devices is available in the BREW website's Developer Resources area.

In addition to features that are not supported on a given device, the following list describes the functionality that is not supported in the current Flash Lite BREW implementation (and is thus not available on any device):

Flash Lite sound decoding All sound formats are passed to the device for playback without modification. For example, if the sound is in MP3 format and the device supports MP3, it plays. Flash Lite does not decode any sounds internally in BREW, as it does on other platforms.

Streaming sound All sound must be fully loaded before it can play. The current BREW implementation does not support playing sounds progressively as they are loading over a network.

ActionScript commands The following ActionScript fscommand2() functions are unavailable on any BREW device:

ExtendBacklightDuration()

GetNetworkConnectStatus()

GetBatteryLevel()

GetNetworkName()

GetMaxBatteryLevel()

GetNetworkRequestStatus

GetMaxSignalLevel()

GetPowerSource()

GetNetworkConnectionName()

GetSignalLevel()

The following ActionScript fscommand() function is unavailable on any BREW device:

fscommand(Launch)

 

getURL() support  Some BREW handsets support some getURL() functions, depending on the implementation. As a general rule, the following protocols are not supported:

NOTE

 

mailto requests are not directly supported. Instead, you can use the Short Message Service (SMS) protocol, which limits the maximum message size to 160 characters.

Wallpaper content Flash Lite wallpaper content is not supported in the Flash Lite for BREW implementation.

Animated ring tones Animated ring tones are not supported in the Flash Lite for BREW implementation.
