Hi Flotron

This article was written originally by the tech support team in 2008. However Flash lite is no longer a priority and the team no longer has flash resources, so it is unlikely that they will address this issue (or are even monitoring the page). I have added the warning to highlight the issue for other users.

To address this, your best bet is to create a discussion board post and cross link to the article. That will increase the number of "experts" looking at the problem.

Regards

Hamish

We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived. Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to list contacts in the default phonebook useing the Contact Service API in a Flash Lite 3.0 (supported from S60 5th Edition onwards).
