Sony Ericsson UI Components
With Sony Ericsson UI components, Flash developers can now build custom user interfaces in a fraction of the time it used to take without compromising too much on performance and memory. Sony Ericsson has introduced a great set of Flash Lite User Interface components, and they are all packed in one MXP file.
These UI components are light, robust, and customizable. They can be easily re-used by Flash developers to rapidly build complex and appealing Flash Lite applications. Sony Ericsson Flash Lite UI components include for example Scrollbar, different kinds of lists, Slider, Softkey, Progress bars, and many other useful UI components.
Sony Ericsson UI components have been carefully crafted to address the needs of both the limitations of mobile phones and the passion of the Flash designers, so that they are optimized and are accessible to swiftly revolutionize the way they look and feel in terms of skin, colors, fonts, transparency, animation and many other properties that can change from application to application.
