My first article published on Adobe Devnet on “Using a simple and useful template for creating Flash Lite wallpaper”
Â
My first article published on Adobe Devnet (Mobile & Devices Developer Center) on “Using a simple and useful template for creating Flash Lite wallpaper” In this article you will see how you can use this template, which provides you an additional visual view in Adobe device central to see how your wallpaper looks in actual Flash Lite-enabled phones. It save time in your development workflow.
I write about this earlier (older version) and love to see this as future feature in Adobe Device Central for other devices too so that developer can make the production process faster and easier.
Feel free to post your comments/suggestions anything. Â 🙂

Flash Lite: Video for Dumb Phones
Â
Video on mobile handsets will take off with the upcoming initiatives from Adobe. Bill Joll, CEO of On2 explain the future of Flash on mobile and other devices.
To further extend the reach of Flash viewing, phones will have chips that allow them show these files. On2 Technologies, whose encoding software is part of Flash ecosystem, is finalizing the acquisition of Hantro of Finland. The Finnish concern implements video compression for numerous handset makers including Nokia, Sanyo and others.
So, we really don’t need expensive smart phones to see videos!!
I really believe as like as PC flash video will rock in mobile devices, just we have to wait for the future.

Critical Updates for Adobe Flash Player and Photoshop CS2\CS3 released
Â
Adobe has released updates for its Flash Player and Photoshop CS2/CS3 software to fix holes that can be exploited by attackers, for instance to inject malicious code through specially crafted web pages or e-mail attachments.
“While an input validation error could lead to arbitrary code execution in Flash Player 9.0.45.0 and prior versions, insufficient validation of the HTTP Referer in Flash Player 8.0.34.0 and earlier versions might help attackers to execute cross-site scripting attacks. Another security problem related to the Opera and Konqueror browsers exists in Flash Player 7 (version 7.0.70.0) for Linux and Solaris, but Adobe does not provide more detailed information on this issue. The vendor advises users to upgrade to version 9.0.47, but also provides patches for other versions of the software.”
“The updates for Photoshop CS2 and CS3 fix the vulnerabilities detected by Marsu at the end of April. These can be triggered when manipulated BMP, DIB, RLE and PNG image files are handled, and could lead to arbitrary code injection and execution. A malicious image, e.g., from an e-mail attachment, must be opened in Photoshop in order to achieve this. Links to patches for Windows and Mac OS X are provided in the security advisory. The vendor advises users to install the update as soon as possible. ”
