Flash lite packing using Qt SDK?

[rajan.mba]

Hi
Since the online packer has been made obsolete, is there a solution to pack Flashlite app into sis using Qt SDK or any other free resource ? How do you all pack Flashlite now that there is no tool available ?

Hi Rajan,
I dont recommend packaging your flash content in Qt as you have to first take care of Qt packaging (i.e smart installer) and then Flash Lite. Better way is to use old techniques i.e
1. Try this free packager (Helisso) which doesn't need any SDKs for SWF to SIS packaging.

OR
2. Download Symbian 3rd or 5th SDK and Carbide C++, then follow this article :

Thank you , but Helisso packs only flashlite 3.1 and there are a large number of users who still have < 3.1 flashlite. I guess there is no way other way than the app prompting user to upgrade to flashlite 3.1 . I don't want to download another sdk - I am sick of all the Qt and QML SDKs ! The online packer was so good. Wonder why they took it down.

Hi Rajan,
Helisso does support Flash Lite 3.0 as well and have you test it with any Flash Lite 2.x and Flash Lite 3.0 device? because i think Helisso is based on Flash Lite Viewer Frameworks which has to work with Flash Lite 2.0 to 3.x

Only some one from Nokia can comment on it .

Unfortunately if I try to pack with < 3.1 Flashlite I get the following error [in warap.exe.log file]

Hi Rajan,
I also found some issues with Helisso Packager. So now, we left with two options :
1- Carbide C++, Symbian SDK and Code.
2- Embeds SWF into a WRT.

yes, the easiest way to make an app with flash is WRT...
but you cannot use the flash APIs, instead you need to use WRT APIs and pass data between WRT and flash

document.getElementById("flashOBJ").SetVariable("var1",value1);
