Moblyng’s main function is to take the Flash slideshow widgets seen on MySpace and other social networks, and convert them into a format that is viewable on most mobile phones. The system scrapes profiles for autoplaying flash movies and strips away layers in the .swf (Flash) file to expose the individual photos. These photos are formatted for display on any compatible mobile device, or, for phones that support video, they can be reassembled into mobile-friendly movies, along with the music and effects that were in the original flash widget. The newly-formatted files can be sent between users using SMS or through Moblyng’s built-in send function.The new technology seems to work well, and at this point it seems like it has a large number of potential users - many phones don’t support Flash yet. That said, the phones that are capable of video playback are also more likely to feature Flash support in the near future (like the iPhone, for example), so Moblyng could see this userbase shrink quickly.http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/21/fliptrack-changes-name-takes-flash-objects-mobile/
