[FlashLite] Dice

Abdul Qabiz has posted about a J2ME application I made some weeks ago, and he says that the same thing could have been done with a few lines of code in Macromedia Flash Lite.

And he's right!

Here you can download a zip containing the source files.

And here's an screenshot of the application:

The code is really simple. Look:

/:diceValue=Int (Random (6)) + 1

//trace( diceValue );

tellTarget( "/diceView" )
{
 	gotoAndPlay( "Dice" add /:diceValue );
}

diceView is a movieclip that is on the stage, and that instead of just one frame, contains all the animations needed to show all the sides of the dice

I must confess that I had almost forgotten the old "tellTarget days". But, in fact, the development time was about a tenth of the time needed to develop the j2me example

By the way, I've been thinking for some time about focusing this blog a bit more on mobile devices. Thanks, Abdul, for giving me the final push! ;)
