Extending Flash capabilities with JanusJanus Pocket PC lets you expand the power of Flash Lite for Smartphone beyond your imagination, providing a “growing up” set of additional custom functions:

Some Classes

- SQLite3, SQLServer- System, Status- File, FTP- GPS- WIFI- OutLook- SMS (interceptor)- Registry

Code Sample - Show a Message BoxHow to show a message box and retrieve the button clicked: 

import ssp.dialogs.*; //Add the event listener for the 'show' eventvar listener:Object = new Object();listener.show = function(e:String){       result_txt.text = e;}//MessageBox button1.onRelease = function(){        MessageBox.addListener(listener);       MessageBox.message = "Hello World";       MessageBox.caption = "Information";       MessageBox.buttons = "YesNoCancel";       MessageBox.icon = "None";       MessageBox.show();}

Code Sample - How to intercept an SMS message 1/3This code sample shows the usage of the MessageInterceptor class. This class allows to get notifications if a new SMS has been received. You can set the action which can be either 'notify' or 'notifydelete'. Notify will pass the notification down to the next application waiting for SMS messages while notifydelete will delete the message afterwards and block the notification chain. import ssp.utils.*;import ssp.error.*;import ssp.phone.*; var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.EVENT_messageReceived = function(e){       if(e instanceof SSPError)       {               result_txt.text ="Error: " + e.message;       }       else       {               var mySMS:SMS = new SMS(e);               result_txt.text = "SMS: " + mySMS.body + "\r";               result_txt.text += "From: " + mySMS.from + "\r"       }}

Code Sample - How to intercept an SMS message 2/3

listener.initialize = function(e){       if(e instanceof SSPError)       {               result_txt.text ="Initialization Error: " + e.message;       }       else       {               result_txt.text = "Is Initialized: " + e.toString() + "\r";       }} listener.setAction = function(e){       if(e instanceof SSPError)       {               result_txt.text ="Set action Error: " + e.message;       }       else       {               result_txt.text = "Action set: " + e.toString() + "\r";       }} 

Code Sample - How to intercept an SMS message 3/3

listener.setCriteria = function(e){       if(e instanceof SSPError)       {               result_txt.text ="Set criteria Error: " + e.message;       }       else       {               result_txt.text = "Criteria set: " + e.toString() + "\r";       }}  MessageInterceptor.addListener(listener); button1.onRelease = function(){         MessageInterceptor.setAction("notifydelete");        MessageInterceptor.setCriteria("body", "contains", "janus", false);       MessageInterceptor.initialize(); }
