APPENDIXES Appendix A Part Four APPENDIXES Appendix A ERROR CODES This appendix lists the error codes and error messages for the various versions of Flash Lite. Table A-1 shows the error codes for errors that can occur in Flash Lite ver- sions 1.0 and 1.1, and Table A-2 shows the error codes for versions 2.0 and later. (In the later versions, the missing error code numbers 5 and 9 are by design, probably because the engineers of Flash Lite see them as unlucky numbers.) 441 APPENDIX A Table A-1. Error codes for Flash Lite 1.0 and 1.1 Error code Error message 1 Out of memory. 2 Stack limit reached. 3 Corrupt SWF data. 4 ActionScript stuck. This error can occur if the code doesn’t run within the preset time limits (normally meaning that the CPU of the device is too slow). 5 Infinite AS loop. 6 Bad JPEG data. 7 Bad sound data. 8 Cannot find host. 9 ActionScript error. 10 URL too long. Table A-2. Error codes for Flash Lite 2.0 and later Error code Error message 1 Out of memory. 2 Stack limit reached. 3 Corrupt SWF data. 4 ActionScript stuck. This error can occur if the code doesn’t run within the preset time limits (normally meaning that the CPU of the device is too slow). 6 Bad image data; corrupt or unsupported image file. 7 Bad sound data; corrupt or unsupported sound file. 8 Root movie unloaded. 10 URL too long. 11 Insufficient memory to decode image. 12 Corrupt SVG data. 13 Insufficient memory to load URL. 442 Appendix B FSCOMMAND2 COMMANDS This appendix gives a list of available FSCommand2 commands available in the different versions of the Flash Lite Player. Commands that are used by specific mobile devices won’t be listed. Please refer to the development documentation of these devices to get an insight into the available commands. Most of the FSCommand2 commands return a numeric value. If the command is not supported on the mobile device it will return -1, instead of the success value, 0 or higher. The two tables at the end of this appendix are for quick reference—print them out, and keep them at hand when you are developing your Flash Lite applications! We use the word “deprecated” in certain commands’ support information to indicate that although the command is still supported, there are other ways of accessing the given functionality. One example of this is is with the GetLocaleLongDate command. In Flash Lite 2 we can use the Date object instead, but you are still able to use the FSCommand2 command if you wish. 445 APPENDIX B Launch The Launch command enables you to launch another application on the mobile device. The command is only able to launch applications in the stand-alone Flash Lite Player. The supported parameter of this command is application-path, arg1, arg2, . , argn, with the name of the application being started and then followed with parameters separated by commas. The length of this parameter is limited, so verify that it works successfully on the mobile device of your choice. Please note that this is an fscommand() command, and the support of this is dependent on the oper- ating system of the device. Support Stand-alone Flash Lite Player only Example of usage appName = "z:\\system\\apps\\browser\\browser.app"; parameters = "http://www.flashmobilebook.com"; status = fscommand( "Launch", appName add "," add parameters ); Quit The Quit command stops playback and exits the Flash Lite stand-alone player. Support Stand-alone Flash Lite Player only Example of usage status = fscommand2( "Quit" ); Escape The Escape command encodes the given string to a format safe for network transfers; it returns the converted string in the given encoded variable. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage original_string = "My Original String"; status = fscommand2( "Escape", original_string, "encoded_string" ); trace( "Encoded String: " add encoded_string ); // outputs: Encoded String: My%20Original%20String 446 FSCOMMAND2 COMMANDS Unescape The Unescape command decodes a given string encoded by the Escape command to its normal form; it returns the decoded string in the given encoded variable. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage original = "My%20Original%20String"; status = fscommand2( "Unescape", original, "encoded" ); trace( "Decoded String: " add encoded ); // outputs: Decoded String: My Original String FullScreen The FullScreen command shows the Flash content using the full display area of the mobile device. This command is only supported in the stand-alone Flash Lite Player, not in the embedded browser. Support Stand-alone Flash Lite Player only Example of usage status = fscommand2( "FullScreen", true ); if ( status != 0 ) { trace( "no fullscreen support" ); } GetLocaleLongDate The GetLocaleLongDate command sets a specified variable to the long format of the current date in the currently defined locale of the mobile device. For example, it returns a format like Wednesday, May 11, 2007. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage status = fscommand2( "GetLocaleLongDate", "current_date" ); trace( "The current date is: " add current_date ); // outputs: The current date is: Sunday, November 19, 2006 447 APPENDIX B GetLocaleShortDate The GetLocaleShortDate command sets a specified variable to the short format of the current date in the currently defined locale of the mobile device. For example, it returns a format like 11-05-2007 or 05/11/2007. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage status = fscommand2( "GetLocaleShortDate", "current_date" ); trace( "The current date is: " add current_date ); // The current date is: 19-11-2006 GetLocaleTime The GetLocaleTime command sets a specified variable to the current time in the currently defined locale of the mobile device. For example, it returns a format like 22:56:39 or 11:56:39 PM. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage status = fscommand2( "GetLocaleTime", "current_time" ); trace( "The current time is: " add current_time ); // outputs: The current time is: 21:27:02 GetDateDay The GetDateDay command returns the day of the current date; this is a numeric value between 1 and 31, without a leading zero. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_day = fscommand2( "GetDateDay" ); trace( "The day: " add current_day ); //outputs: The day: 19 448 FSCOMMAND2 COMMANDS GetDateMonth The GetDateMonth command returns the day of the current date; this is a numeric value between 1 and 12, without a leading zero. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_month = fscommand2( "GetDateMonth" ); trace( "The Month: " add current_month ); // outputs: The Month: 11 GetDateYear The GetDateYear command returns the day of the current date, this is a numeric value between 0 and 9999. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_year = fscommand2( "GetDateYear" ); trace( "The Year: " add current_year ); // outputs: The Year: 2007 GetDateWeekday The GetDateWeekday command returns the number of the current weekday; this is a numeric value between 0 and 6, where 0 is Sunday, and 6 is Saturday. Table B-1 lists all the possible values. Table B-1. The possible values of the weekday Value Description 0 Sunday 1 Monday 2 Tuesday 3 Wednesday 4 Thursday 5 Friday 6 Saturday 449 APPENDIX B Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_weekday = fscommand2( "GetDateWeekday" ); trace( "The Weekday: " add current_weekday ); // outputs: The Weekday: 0 GetTimeHours The GetTimeHours command returns the hour of the current time; this is a numeric value between 0 and 23. The hour is returned in 24-hour, or military, time. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_hour = fscommand2( "GetTimeHours" ); trace( "The Current Hour: " add current_hour ); // outputs: The Current Hour: 21 GetTimeMinutes The GetTimeMinutes command returns the minutes of the current time; this is a numeric value between 0 and 59. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_minutes = fscommand2( "GetTimeMinutes" ); trace( "The Current Minutes: " add current_minutes ); // outputs: The Current Minutes: 29 GetTimeSeconds The GetTimeSeconds command returns the seconds of the current time; this is a numeric value between 0 and 59. 450 FSCOMMAND2 COMMANDS Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage current_seconds = fscommand2( "GetTimeSeconds" ); trace( "The Current Seconds: " add current_seconds ); // outputs: The Current Seconds: 38 GetTimeZoneOffset The GetTimeZoneOffset command returns the number of minutes between the current time zone and the universal time (UTC) in the specified variable. This numeric value can be both positive as well as negative; for example, -60 minutes is the value for European time (the Netherlands). Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X (deprecated) Example of usage status = fscommand2( "GetTimeZoneOffset", "timezone_offset" ); trace( "Timezone offset: " add timezone_offset ); // outputs: Timezone offset: -60 GetDeviceID The GetDeviceID command returns the unique identifier of the mobile device (i.e., the IMEI number of the device in the specified variable). The command can sometimes cause a pop-up dialog on the mobile device as a security measure. Support Flash Lite 1.1; Flash Lite 2.X Example of usage status = fscommand2( "GetDeviceID", "device_id" ); trace( "Unique DeviceID: " add device_id ); // outputs: Unique DeviceID: 1234-5678-9012-345 GetDevice The GetDevice command returns the

  • 1Understanding Android
    1 Understanding Android In mobile device terms, the word Android can refer to either an Android device or to the Android operating system. In very simple terms, an Android device is any device that runs the Android operat- ing system. You might also encounter androids from science fiction films and books, which are robots that resemble people, but that’s not the type of Android I discuss in this book. You don’t need to understand what Android is or how it works to use it. You can simply turn your device on and start pressing buttons and tapping icons and you’ll probably get along just fine. That approach worked just fine for my 3-year-old daughter; she figured it out pretty quickly, much to my dismay. But in case you want a small peek behind the Android curtain, this chapter is for you . Introducing the Android Operating System Android is the operating system that powers all Android devices. Much like how the Windows operating system powers laptop and desktop computers, or Apple’s iOS (formerly known as the iPhone OS) powers iPhones and iPads. Think of it as the underlying software that instructs your device what to do. When you install an Android app onto an Android device, you are installing an app that was written spe- cifically for the Android operating system. You can’t install a Windows app on an Android device, and you can’t install an Android app onto a Windows computer. Actually, that last part isn’t exactly true. You actually can install Android apps onto a Windows computer — and even on Macs and Linux PCs, for that matter — but only if the computer is running a special piece of software called an Android emulator, which creates a virtual Android device on your computer.

  • Symbian Smartphones for the Enterprise
    Symbian Smartphones for the Enterprise Working without boundaries The growth of wireless computing belongs to the smartphone, a powerful device that extends the superb voice functionality of a mobile phone into the realm of data communications. From inception, it has been Symbian’s mission to supply operating systems that enable a mass market for enhanced communications and information services based on mobile phones. Already, Symbian OS is the industry’s standard choice for feature-rich phones that not only can handle calendars, contacts, messaging, email and Web browsing, but that can also integrate with virtually any enterprise information system. Though the market has already embraced smartphones, with over ten million of them sold in 2003, most people don’t fully grasp the impact that they will have on working life as these devices become more pervasive. For the enterprise, smartphones will have an impact on par with that of mobile telephony itself. Most of us already take for granted our ability to place and receive voice calls from anywhere at any time. But few of us yet take advantage of instantly having any data we wish at any time from that very same mobile phone. The implications are far reaching. For business travelers (or even managers and other workers that spend a lot of time away from their desks) it will mean having access to time-sensitive data and the ability to “stay in touch” with work teams on important issues in a manner that hasn’t previously been possible. This is readily achieved by delivering email, web access and instant messaging directly to the user’s phone.

    ← Distimo iOS App Update: Publications, Ad Tracking, Metrics and More Leo’s Fortune Follows Monument Valley, Generates Over 50% of Total Revenue in First 7 Days → Kik Messenger Remains a Contender in Messaging App Space Posted on May 14, 2014 by Scott Reyburn It’s been a wild year so far in the global mobile messaging app space. With many more months left in 2014, the dust has yet to settle on the messaging app battlefield. Major messaging app players have been acquired, funded or added a significant amount of new features in 2014. In February, Japanese Internet giant Rakuten acquired messaging app provider Viber Media for $900 million. A few days later, Facebook purchased mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion. The following month, U.S. IPO-bound Albiaba from China led the latest round of funding for messaging service Tango, investing $215 million of the $280 million in the round. In early May, ephemeral photo messaging startup Snapchat added a text chat component to its mobile app. The new text messaging feature put Snapchat in the same realm as messaging app juggernauts such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. One messaging app that has kept developing new features is Kik Messenger from Watlerloo, Ontario-based Kik Interactive. We flipped through estimated downloads data from Distimo AppIQ to benchmark Kik’s Sign up Sign in current foothold in theAnalytics messaging appAppIQ space.

  • Making Sense of Gender from Digital Game Play in Three-Year-Old Children’S Everyday Lives: an Ethnographic Case Study
    JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE RESEARCH IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY Copyright © The Author(s), 2015 Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2015 ISSN 2068 – 0317 http://compaso.eu Making sense of gender from digital game play in three-year-old children’s everyday lives: An ethnographic case study Youn Jung Huh1 Abstract This study explores very young children performing and talking about game characters in their everyday life. In this study, young children’s digital game play is considered as a hybrid and complex site for the children to meet popular culture and their everyday family experiences. This article represents a case study of six three-year-old children and their families, which combines ethnographic methods (spending time with the families, being a participant observer) and critical perspectives analysis with Bakhtinian perspectives to construct analyses that have the potential to understand how young children make sense of their everyday roles as a boy or a girl through their game play. This study shows that young children do not directly receive ideological messages from the game media, but they make sense of the messages by decoding and interpreting the game media based on their own theories of everyday life. Keywords Gender performance, digital game, young children, everyday practice, ethnographic case study Introduction This article is a part of my dissertation that focuses on six three-year-old children playing digital games on a daily basis and their families. In this paper, I explore how very young children perform and talk about game characters in their everyday lives and how it is 1 Ph.D, Salem State University, Salem, United States of America, [email protected] 155 Journal of Comparative Research in Anthropology and Sociology, Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2015 related to their gender identities.
