FlashLite 2.0 network problems solved
OK, so I finally figured out why I was not able to load any network data into my N90 using FlashLite 2.0. It seems that there is a bug in the FlashLite 2.0 player.
The first time that Flash tries to fetch something from the network it asks if I want to allow connections. After I press yes, I get a dialog to select my default access point. I have a access point for Internet traffic, MMS messages and WAP. Now I know that the "Internet"-option is the correct one, since this is what I use to read mail etc.
But what I get is nothing. No data is loaded. Well, today I once more tried to get the damn thing working, so I went to by Log-application to see if any data is being transmitted. And I was astonished to find out that I had a lot of MMS-connections in my log. Huh, I don’t MMS that frequently. As it turns out, Flash Lite for some reason always uses my MMS connection when trying to fetch network data, and that does of course not work, since the operators MMS access point has limited access to Internet resources.
Well, next I go into my Flash app again and select MMS as my default access point. What I get is another dialog stating to "Select access point". The dialog looks different from the "Default access point"-dialog and after selecting the Internet access point I finally get some data flowing! Doh.

Ciao,
can you check what is acual address to which the internet and the MMS are connecting to ?
Flash Lite 2 access whatever you selected as access point, so that’s a strange behavior.

Hi Alessandro,
There’s nothing unusual in my access points (they connect to mms.sonera.com and intrnet.sonera.com). But it indeed is a strange behaviour. Does anyone else have problems of the same kind?
I had the exact same problem. Been struggling all weekend to get the damn thing working – thankfully i came across your blog comment and saved my sanity.
I’m using an n70 – is this problem restricted to nokias?
I believe it’s because the MMS/WAP APN tries to engage the connection via proxy and flash player doesn’t know how to retrieve the proxy settings. “Internet” ja “Prointernet” APNs do work – probably due to not using proxies.
Also have the same problem, using vodafone network here in new zealand. Frustrating …
I also have a N90 but I don’t have to use the MMS “hack” for downloading data from flash. Isn’t it simply the configuration of your mobile network ?
i have designed a mobile application on
flash lite2.0 and tested it on flash lite default stand alone player can any one suggest me that how can i transfer my mobile application to N90?
and how can i connect my application to network please any one who can help me thanks in advance for any help…
Hi Shabby,
Either use PC Suite or upload the swf directly using Bluetooth… Er, to connect your app to the network, use any of the connectivity functions (XML.load, loadVariables …)
