Flash Lite is a mobile version of the Flash Player used in browsers. At the moment it comes in 3 versions, 1, 2 and 3. This tutorial will be covering version 2 which uses a modified version of ActionScript 2. We'll be making a really simple jumping game which can easily be modified to make it into a variety of games.

 

This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with the basics of the flash authoring tool (Macromedia Flash 8 or Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, CS4 is fine too) such as using the drawing tools, creating MovieClips and basic animation.

 

Just a quick note on compatability, Flash Lite 2 generally must be pre-installed on your phone. You can download the player for some phones but not all. The best way to check if your phone supports Flash Lite 2 is to check your phone manufacturer's website, google your model number or check the following list:

Don't worry if your phone doesn't support Flash Lite, you can still play it on your computer or in a browser!
