Hello, I'm writing a simple RSS reader widget for the n97, but I'm running into a few problems.
First off, I'm trying to decide what the best packaging method for my app would be. I can't just use the .swf file, since it needs to have a nice, shiny logo.
So I was thinking I would just package it as an WRT widget, but this seems to present some limitations. The ones I've noticed so far are:
- I can't use any fscommands (like fullscreen)
- I can't use the Services API (sensor information)
- I can't rotate my application based on the screen orientation
My question therefore... How do I circumvent these limitations? Is a WRT widget just not the way to go, or can I somehow still have a fullscreen flash lite application that rotates to fit the screen orientation even when the .swf is embedded into a WRT widget?
I was thinking maybe of having a 640x640 swf file that would listen for a method call from javascript everytime the screen orientation updates. That way, if I knew the orientation, I could rotate/reposition my content based on this information. This seems a little hacky though (using a square resolution for my flash file), but atm, when I test my application and rotate the screen, I just see the border of my application and a lot of white space.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
