Distributable Player Expansion – 45 Countries


This application is created by interactive maps. You can also have your visited countries map on your site. If you see this message, you need to upgrade your flash player.

I’m happy to announce the further expansion of the Distributable Player to a further 15 countries bringing the total to 45 across the world. With the Distributable Player it’s possible to distribute your applications with the latest Flash player optimized for mobile devices, Flash Lite 3.1. This is the same player available on the HTC Hero and Nokia 5800 devices.

The countries are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, UK, United Arab Emirates, USA.

Using the Adobe Mobile Packager 1.1 you can package your SWF files and assets in native installer packages, then distribute them freely from your website or that of your customer. We’ve made it extremely easy to get started and begin to work with mobile devices in advance of Flash Player 10 availability. If you’re interested in developing for Flash Player 10 when it arrives I recommend that you get your feet wet with Flash Lite to build up your knowledge of mobile and devices interaction and optimizations.

You can see some great examples of Flash applications running on mobile devices from the Flash Lite Developer Challenge below!

    For countries not listed YET, what aspect of the creation-packaging-distribution-updating etc workflow will they be missing out on?

    Hi William, the piece missing will be the download and install of the latest player over the air. So if you distribute your app in Lagos then users will not be able to use the application unless they manually install the player.

    We’re working to build coverage for major markets, that is opportunities for developers with our supported devices. In time of course we’ll enable every country and in fact we’ve now completed our batch lists so this is the next step.

    Hi, I am wondering what does it mean that 45 countries can use Distributable player? If someone is from Ukraine or Lithuania which is not on the 45 countries list, they can’t use it or it will be not working there? Is it somehow connected with the operators in those countries?

    Thanks in advance for the info.

      Hi, The 45 countries are those where we know the download will function correctly, although it is not operator specific.

      You can still use the players from the url below for testing, and in the coming weeks you’ll see this open to all countries and more devices.
