Flash lite fullscreen WRT launcher problem on N97

[magicdave]

Hi All

I am busy trying to create a WRT launcher for a flash lite game. I am given to understand from various posts that the best way to do this for memory and performance reasons is to launch the flash player standalone from the widget, by using the <META http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; url=MyFlash.swf"> method as described in the wiki page.

This works fine on a 5800. (The option 2 method mentioned there doesn't work however, just displaying the swf file as binary data)

However on an N97, the flash file does not launch. No error is displayed.
Experimenting further, window.location.href also works to launch the flash content on the 5800, but not on the N97. On the N97 it only seems to work if the url starts with "http://".

Is there a new better way to launch SWF full screen that works across all devices? I will gladly update the wiki page if I can find an answer to this.

have you tried the widget.openURL('path/to/my.swf') method?

Hi

I've tried widget.openURL('main.swf') (which is the name of the swf, there are no folders in my wgz besides the root one) with no luck - nothing happens. When you say path/to, is there a way that I need to find out the absolute path to the swf?

Thanks

Hello!

Did you get a solution for this ?

Hi Juhauta

No, I have not found a solution for this yet.

Anyone else care to help?

Same kind of problems here, this is an important issue, can somebody from Nokia please respond? Or should we just forget about direct-play of Flash Lite for .wgz files?

I also feel this is a big issue. I just spent the time to package up a simple swf and interacting with it via the widget setup is completely unfinished. It's as if the swf is embedded in html and (with touch) the phone is scrolling the container instead of interacting with the swf (this is direct play without html, which looks even worse). Even with the mainHTML key set to the swf, there is an odd border, and the fscommand2 to remove soft keys doesn't work.
