First steps in flashlite development
Recently I started getting to know better the flashlite development. I played around with some examples and got really inspired of what I possible could do. So the first two things I looked at were:
- the simplest way of creating sis files to be installed for development and testing
- creating a basic layout template for flashlite applications that can easily manage different screen sizes
There are a lot of desktop applications that can generate sis files, most of them if not all you must buy. Also they need certificates for signing the sis files … I don’t have one, so I need to use the symbiansigned site but the process is a little slow because you have to send your sis file and then they return it back by email already signed just for your IMEI. Nice to know that though I spent a hour to get aware of the whole thing. So this is no suitable for me. Finally I found two online packagers.
SWFpack.com is one of them. It seems to get the job done but its registration is closed apparently. So I started using the other option – Forum Nokia Online Flash Lite Packager. It is a cool thing, really fast to generate just a sis file ready to test on your mobile device. Cool!
The other thing I looked at was the layout template for my app in the future. I came accross some examples in forum nokia for creating layouts. It is explained very well here in this document – UI Design .
There is another approach however explained here in this link. It is very easy to adopt this template but it has problems with larger screen size and touch screens , for example N97 mini where if you turn the rotation as portrait you get the touch screen’s soft keys that overlap your own buttons so it needs a little more work.

Apple says that it expects more companies to file amicus support for its efforts to oppose the order. Hearings on the order and rebuttal are set to be heard on March 22 at 1pm.
You make it entertaining and you still manage to keep it smart.
I can’t wait to read more from you. This is really a great TV.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this post.
