Hey FlashLite developers. Did you read my last post?
We developed our ad system to be so easy to use, I actually wrote a FlashLite app to use it in about 10 minutes. You can download the swf and fla here.
Note that I took out our actual server address in the fla. You’ll get that when if you decide to sign up. But the swf should work on any Nokia S60 phone as long as you give it permission to access the network. Note that it’s using our demo server, not production, so there may be some periods of downtime.
Since our server sends back XML (or JSON if you want), the FlashLite XML parser does all the work for you. All you really have to do is to map a way for the user to click on the ad and then shell out to the web browser.
We did the shell to browser thing so it would be easy to integrate the full ad after the user clicks, but if you don’t want to leave your app, we support full-featured ads without leaving the application. You just have to do a bit more UI work for display.
Also know that the banner in this app is just an example format. We offer these ads at all sorts of resolutions, scaled serverside to save bandwidth and CPU. You can even go with an all text ad if you want. The integration options are endless.
I hope you like what we’re offering here. We’re a company of developers, so we want our API to be as developer-friendly as possible. Please feel free to comment and ask questions – and of course contact us if you want to sign up (for free!!) to use the service!

Hey guys,
Great stuff here. I’ve also been wondering how to integrate advertising in flash lite apps and made a few examples, but they are mostly static versions more or less permenantly placed in the content, so the ads would have to be updated manually.
Does this program you created refrence the ad from a remote server like a typical online ad? If so, then this would be very useful for people in marketing. thanks!-Seth
Hey Seth-
Yes, the ads are all pulled over the network on demand. You send a request via http (with a very versitile system to help choose the ad that fits your demographic) and we send back the XML with the ad info. You can cache ads if you’d like, so you don’t have to hit the network all the time.
Please check out the FLA I linked to in the post. You’ll see that it’s using a network request to fill in the graphic. If you’re not an amateur at actionscript like myself, you could probably do it in 5 lines of code.
