So, you can generate Flash Lite content from a regular Flash authoring
tool as well,right? And it plays on desktop Flash viewers?
Is it just the one company making an authoring tool?

When you say supported, do you mean they ship with it as standard, or

Yes; worldwide, Flash Lite 1.0 only shipped on a single range of phones
from NTT DoCoMo.

Since you listed 86 models compatible with Flash Lite 1.1 and 108

I am thankful for your quick responses. Indeed, information you provided is really helpful to get a bigger picture of SVGT ecosystem. Below are some of my findings regarding Flash Lite 1.1/2.0.
>> 1- Available Flash Lite 1.1 content creation tools, players and server solutions?
Authoring Tools:
FL 1.1:
Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 (7.0.1) for Flash Lite 1.1
An update patch (.dll) file needs to be installed to test the FL 1.1 content.
FL 2.0:
Macromedia Flash MX Professional 8 for Flash Lite 1.1/2.0. An update patch needs to be installed to develop flash lite 1.1/2.0 content. Author can select the target profile (1.1/2.0) and view the expected result on a list of emulated devices. These device profiles can be installed as a separate patch to Macromedia Flash MX Professional 8.
Players:
Flash Lite 1.1
Flash Lite 2.0
Developer can purchase FL1.1/2.0 player (10US $ dollars each) against IMEI of the device.
There are 86 different models (mobiles + PDA's) listed on macromedia website. 9 of them support FL 2.0, remaining support FL 1.0/1.1. In comparison SVG is supported by 108 models (svg.org).
Server:
FlashCast is a technolig used to deliver Flash Lite applications to handsets. FlashCast has a client and a server application. FlashCast client is a flash interface which is installed on the mobile to display flash content using flash lite i.e. flash lite 1.1 is runtime of FlashCast client. FlashCast server is cluster of J2EE servers that serve as an intermediary between the FlashCast client application and third-party content providers. It ties content feeds and flash animations with device capabilities and user preferences to offer rich user experience
Add-on to Flash Professional 8 which includes templates, design guidelines, a FlashCast client emulator, and a simulated local FlashCast server system, enabling developers to use a single tool to produce FlashCast mobile applications.
Note: It seems Flash Lite is operational mainly in Japan.
>> Does every new mobile have pre-installed Flash Lite 1.1 player?
I am not sure about this, but I guess not. I tested sample Flash Lite 1.1 & 2.0 content on Nokia N70 (which is supposed to support FL 2.0) but it did not recognize the content type. However same content worked on e.g. SE K600/V800. I think not every new mobile comes equipped with FL 1.1/2.0, but FL 1.1/2.0 player can be downloaded for the models listed on Macromedia website (of course not for free… :).

There are a number of other tools for more specialized tasks or where finer control is needed. Because the format is open and documented, a variety of tools can be integrated into a toolchain.

Optionally, Flash Lite 1.1 can include SVG Tiny 1.1 support, yes.

That is difficult to do in practice, because the authoring format for
Flash is undocumented and the distribution format has already had things
like shape morphs split up into lots of similar shapes, ie frame-based
animation. Tools do exist to do swf to svg conversion, which mainly
shows that if you were authoring the same content in svg you would not
author it like the converter did....

Some filtering can be useful- although te Tiny player will ignore Full
elements and attributes, there is no sense sending a large amount of
content that will be ignored.
Note though that SVG content for mobile views correctly on the desktop
(which may seem obvious but not all technologies are like that).

I would be interested to see the answers to your own questions, but for
Flash Lite 1.1 (and 2.0, but separately).
1- Available Flash Lite 1.1 content creation tools, players and server
solutions?
2- Level of support by the above vendors? I may be wrong but the
general impression among my colleagues is "Flash Lite has better tool
support and good technical help".
3- list of operator's supporting Flash Lite 1.1?
4- does every new mobile have pre-installed Flash Lite 1.1 player?

I think SVGT is optional in MMS.

The SVG part of Flash Lite is optional, and as far as I know, none of
the Flash Lite licensees have shipped it.

From my point of view, there is little merit in comparing SVGT and
Flash Lite technologically speaking. I believe it is mostly a
business decision.

Mobile SVG user agents will display SVG Tiny content just fine, but
if the content is authored in SVG Full, then depending on how your
content is authored, the result will vary.

Authoring tools: Beatware Mobile Designer / Ikivo Animator. It is my
understanding that both these tools will see new releases to support
SVGT 1.2 once the standard is finalized.
Players: The leading known SVGT 1.2 players are BitFlash's and

This second release introduces the performance improvement of the
1.10 version. The significant improvement of performance is about
the events loop and I want to thank Marcel for his idea and Daniel
for testing the second release. I encourage everyone who downloaded
the first release (before March 23) to update it to the second one.
See more details at http://www.tinyline.com
TinyLine SVG Toolkit is set of SVG Tiny Players and SDKs.
It runs on various Java flavors: J2ME MIDP2.0, J2ME Personal
Profile, and J2SE.
http://www.tinyline.com/svgt/download/index.html
The online W3C SVG Tiny Test Suite using TinyLine now includes
Opacity and Gradients tests.
http://www.tinyline.com/svgt/samples/tiny_test/index.html#sec-

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply..
We want to try this out on a TV Platform with 166 MHz

As you have mentioned in the mail regarding SVG
implementations exposing C api's. Can you please tell
if there are any SVG engines of this type
available(open source).

Hi All,
Im a newbie to this group.
Im currently working on a UI engine which is developed in C language.
It supports a very strog control behavior which mkes the life of
application developers easy.
Now, we are currently analysing whether we can integrate SVG engine
(Mainly for rendering) with our UI engine( for controlling the UI).
My question is how easy/difficult will it be to interact with an Svg
engine if our development environment is in C.
If anyone has already analysed about this, Please let me know.

Hi Marc!
First of all, thanks for the response. Actually what I am doing is,
writing an XSL style sheet for transforming SVG 1.1 into SVGT
1.1/1.1+ content. As for as I know SVG 1.2 is still not finalized
and so as SVGT 1.2. Similarly flash lite 2.0 is also not supported
by any mobile yet
(http://www.macromedia.com/mobile/supported_devices/handsets.html).
So in my opinion, SVGT 1.1 can be comapred with Flash Lite 1.1 and
SVGT 1.2 with Flash Lite 2.0 (since both are new technologies).

Salmi

This is a very interesting question. But
before starting to elaborate an answer, I will start with another question. Which
versions do you want to compare? SVG-T 1.1 or 1.2? FlashLite 1.1 or 2.0? It
makes a big difference…

Flash Lite!
Hi!
I am researching on SVGT and Flash Lite and I have
some general questios regarding that. I will really appreciate
your input in this reagard.
how can we compare SVGT and Flash lite both from
technical and market point of view?
As flash lite content becoming popular in Japan (NTT
DoCoMo). Apart from proprietry issue, as an operator, which one
is better and why? Both (SVGT and Flash Lite) claim to create MMS,
mobile UI design, mobile web publishing applications.
Is there any sample content (in SVGT and Flash
Lite) avaialable which could be helpful for comparing the two?
Pointers to helpful documentation are very much
welcome.

Hi all,
I put together a framework for visualizing server-generated data on the major
desktop svg browsers, and am looking to see what mobile frameworks support
svg and ajax-like behavior (javascript calls via xmlhttprequest or getURL)
Does anyone know of any mobile platforms which support  javascript and svg
together (basically, SVGT1.2)? I am not specifically asking about phone
devices, but am also interested in palmOS, embedded linux, or other handheld
computers. The basic question is, what portable devices handle fill SVG or
SVGT1.2-like behaviour?
I wish to render this type of data-driven image on the mobiles:

I have had that problem - installing the Ikivo viewer, it worked until
the phone was rebooted and then Flash Lite (which was installed before
Ikivo) took control of the svg media type again. I had to uninstall
flash lite to allow Ikivo to work reliably.

The Flash Lite viewer obviously took control
of your SVG mime type settings and deleting the viewer didn’t restore
them. So, perhaps it was working before you installed the Flash Lite viewer?
By the way, this is a real problem because
is you don’t know how to reset these settings, installing the Flash
viewer will screw the SVG viewer. Not really nice…

You are right Marc,
Flash player 1.1.0.0 was
installed on this Nokia N70 phone.
Unfortunately, without this software, the message is now “unknown file
format”…
If anybody is able to use
SVG T documents on this device, not a prototype version of it, I would love to
know how it is done. I don’t want to do Flash Lite only (even if Mobile
Designer is able to deliver both SVG and Flash ;)
Does it make sense to
build a matrix, may be on the svg.org website, to know which
“level” of compliance is available on a given device? For example,
the Sony Ericsson K600i sold by Orange in France is both
Flash L and SVG T compliant. This one works fine locally, over MMS but has some
issues over the UMTS network while browsing…
Unless such a matrix it
is too complex to build.

Indeed.
You are perfectly correct and I would even add to the complexity: there are
four levels of devices with “SVG inside”:
-Devices equipped with an SVG viewer reserved for the personal use
of the device manufacturer. SVG is present, is used for icons and other stuff
but is not accessible for the user.
-Devices with an SVG viewer, but no integration between the viewer
and the browser. This is the most frequent configuration, to my experience
-Devices with an SVG viewer with an HTTP stack
-Devices with a browser “SVG enabled”.
At some
point in the future, we will get only level II and IV devices, I suspect. But
for now, it is a problem.

This is kind of a problem, imho.
<rant> I just picked up a Nokia 9300 communicator
believing the PR which said that it supports SVG, and was surprised/dismayed to see
that whereas it may be able to show svg somehow on the box, it is certainly
not configured to show web-based svg documents. There may be some obscure
trick to get this to work, but I gave up after an hour of searching and
hunting. Most likely, I need to download a browser. And here lies the problem
again. Just try to find an SVG browser online for Nokia (model X). For mine, no
luck here.
Luckily I can build my own browser or download a
java viewer, but as far as consumer experiences go, this looked to be a total
flop to me so far. The installation ease I expected was simply not there.
There seems to be some confusion about the
difference between phones with (a) native applications that use SVG files to render
their own content and (b) phones that provide SVG browsing capabilities. In
our rush to highlight *potential compatibility*, we tend to overlook
*actual support*.
In my opinion, calling a phone which meets
condition (a) above an SVG-enabled phone is misleading at best. In fact, the nature
of an application's rendering mechanism is totally irrelevant and does
not qualify the device as an SVG-enabled device.
I would be quite interested in knowing how many
mobiles come out of the box with the ability to browse svg content online.
My sunrise phone certainly did not. It is a
symbian 80 device and is compatible with svg browser apps. But to say the
phone is an svg-enabled phone is totally misleading. It is like saying a
phone is quake-enabled (if you buy the quake software and install it onto
your phone, which is generally out of reach of most users).
When a phone says it is java enabled, it means it
runs java applications. When we say a phone is svg enabled, it should be able
to render svg content or svg files out of the box. </rant>

The N70 is not Flash Lite enabled. But if
the Flash Lite viewer has been installed on this device this could be the
problem. I experienced the same behavior when trying to install Flash Lite and an
SVG viewer on a Nokia 3740. I had to restore the mime type settings to make
sure that the Flash Lite viewer was not trying to open SVG files that it was
anyway unable to display…
To my knowledge, the SVG-T viewer on the
Nokia N70 is not the one that can come with Flash Lite.

No, it really looks like you have what it takes to
read SVG Tiny, but that the player is failing to read your file. This
could be because the content is broken or because the player is
broken. Can you show us the document?

You could also try Tinyline.

As Antoine mentioned, there is an SVG-T
renderer on the N70. The tutorials are SVG files created with Beatware Mobile
Designer. You need to select the SVG-T 1.1 profile. If this does not work, then
it could be a mime type problem…
Hope that helps,

My friend has an N70 from Orange and SVG works fine within the browser. SVG is actually used within the several
animated tutorials that are on the device to teach you how to use the
phone.
