Flash 2.0 nSeries network problems…

Jan 29, 2006   //   by Tuomas Artman   //  6 Comments

It seems that there are some problems with network connections with the new Flash Lite 2.0 application. At least on my N90 and N70. LoadMovies, LoadVariables and XML loading just does not work. The GPRS-connection is opened, the phone connects, but that’s it. Silence. The log shows that no data has been transferred to any direction. Other users have had this problem too, how about you?

  • Ciao,
    do you have full data plan? Not just WAP.
    Carriers block access to internet if you just have WAP (browsing) plan.

  • Jeah, Finnish operators dumped WAP about two years ago, so everyone with a GRPS or 3G phone has full access to the internet.

  • Wow, this is pretty bad news if they will prove to be right.
    Currently we just installed FlashLite 2.0 on Nokia 7610, but had not yet tried yet development for this device.
    You kinda knocked me down that in Finland WAP is already cursed.
    We are going to release WAP version of our web application prior to development of Flash Lite client, we target USA market.

  • Yeah,
    WAP and WML was a very marginal phenomena in Finland six years ago, although I think that the default S60 browser still supports it. But since the dawn of GPRS everyone over here use XHTML anyhow.

  • Ciao Tuomas,
    ok, that I know there should not be any problem with these phones.
    Can you post a sample code that you are using?
    Also would you be interested in joining the AMobileUG: http://www.flashmobilegroup.org

  • Hi Alessandro,
    The sample code is really simple. A empty movieclip named “temp” sits in _root. The following AS is executed somewhere around frame 10:
    _root.temp.loadMovie(http://www.valve.fi/litetest.swf);
    stop();
    Simple, but not working.
    Also using a text-field, assigning it to say the variable “test” and loading a text file that holds “test=working” and issuing the following AS:
    _root.loadVariables(“http://www.valve.fi/test.txt”);
    does not work as well.
