The new Sony Ericsson getting started tutorial for Project Capuchin outlines how the Project Capuchin API can be used as a bridge between Java™ ME Platform and Adobe® Flash Lite™. This tutorial contains four example applications, with implementation instructions, screenshots and code, to try:

• packaging Flash Lite in a MIDlet – Clock example
• data transfer mechanisms – HelloWorld example
• Flash animation as a UI presenting data from a Java service layer – Tasklist example
• Flash UI communication with Java both via data requests and handling events – StepCounter example

1. The Clock project
This example illustrates how to create and display Flash Lite content inside a Java ME application. The clock application is designed in Flash using Flash CS3 but implemented as a Java MIDlet.

2. Data transfer in Project Capuchin applications, HelloWorld examples
One of the most important features of Project Capuchin applications is the data transfer between Java ME and Flash Lite. There are two data transfer mechanisms:

• DataRequest is used for data transfer between the Java and Flash layers. Data can be transferred in both directions
• ExtendedEvents is used by Java to notify Flash event listeners when events occur

Both data transfer mechanisms are demonstrated with two HelloWorld examples.
