We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived. Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.

This code snippet demonstrates how to launch an external application using the Application Manager Platform Service for Flash Lite, supported from S60 5th Edition onwards.

// Import Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;

// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "List of applications";
 
// Create a new Service object which has Application manager data
var appManager = new Service("Service.AppManager", "IAppManager");
 
// Define the input parameters. In this case the camera application will be launched.
var inParams = {ApplicationID:"s60uid://0x101F857A"};
 
// Define result value
var outParams = appManager.LaunchApp(inParams);
 
// Check if launch was a success
if (outParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
	text_txt.text += "Camera launched!";
} else {
    var errorId = outParams.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text += "\rError: "+errorId;
}
