Program used: Flash Lite 2.0

Description:

This example was the final assignment for my Alternative Interface Design course from the first semester of the Rich Media program. It was a group assignment and we had create an informational handheld guide for some aspect of the city of Toronto. Our group chose to focus on tourism, specifically the main landmarks and attractions of Toronto like the CN Tower, the ROM, Ontario Place, Science Center and the Eaton Center.
  For this project, I was responsible for the photo gallery function and the video player. The photo gallery uses the same functions and classes as a photo gallery developed with Flash 8. The video player uses the 3GP file type which is specific to mobile applications. This file type creates an very small file while keeping most of the quality. The small file size is suited to the limited bandwidth and processor speeds of today's cell phones. To play the video in Flash Lite, I used a video object with the 3GP file embedded in it. The play, pause and stop methods work the same as video in Flash 8.
  This project taught me a lot about working on a complex application as a group and also gave me experience working with video and audio on a mobile platform.
