Does SWF2Go have download and calendar plugins?

Hello David,

Yes, SWF2Go supports many frameworks and plugins to use advance devices APIs in Flash Lite games and applications. You can download files and make changes in device's calendar using these frameworks.

SWF2Go sets you free to use best framework or plugins for your applications. You can use Open Source PyS60 based frameworks (Flyer / SWF2Go's mCore), Forum Nokia's APIBridge or even your custom written C++ APIs framework.

The most easiest option to get started is using PyS60 with a template server mCore, which comes with SWF2Go. SWF2Go 2.5 supports latest PyS60 2.0, you can use all possible APIs exposed in PyS60 in your Flash Lite applications.

You can try the "Be My Lips" sample application which demonstrates using Text To Speech APIs using PyS60. http://www.swf2go.com/wiki/PyS60Sample_BeMyLips.ashx

Visit PyS60 project page to download latest build and documentation https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=854

Let me know if you have any more questions, I'll be glad to help.

Hello,

There are tons of examples for Python. With PyS60 2.0 most of the regular Python scripts work without modifications.

For example take a look at the following link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2267 … ing-python

You can add this simple script in mCore server which is used with Be My Lips application.

For example:

def donwload_file(attributes):
    print ">> downloading file:" + attributes["fileurl"]
    import urllib
    urllib.urlretrieve (attributes["fileurl"], "mydata.xml")

And register this function in the server's callback list

server.addCallBack("donwload_file", donwload_file)

You can call this function from your Flash Lite application using the following URL:

http://localhost:2190/donwload_file?fileurl=mydomain.com/file.xml

Please note this method should be used for small file downloads. If you need to download bigger files, you may have to start download in separate thread, and poll the server for download complete.

You might also like to take a look on another easy to use Python networking framework named Eventlet. http://eventlet.net/

I hope this helps.

Best,

Thanls for your help – it really is appreciated.

I tried using Intelligere Flash Lite Server however when I tried installing the precompiled sis files I got certificate errors, then after compiling it myself using offline open signing got the demo to install but it just gave a generic error message.

Stuart, my boss, has bought a copy of SWF2Go and I’ve got it to download a file and at the moment I’m trying to get the file downloader to run in a new thread as otherwise the server won’t close probably is something is still being downloaded.  Do you know if there’s an easy way to debug python the script when running on the phone (i.e at the moment the server just fails if it doesn't work rather than giving a message saying which line of code failed and an error code)?

The app works on phones such as the N97 which allows the user to set a default connection, however I’ve discovered a problem on the N95 (where setting a default connection for all apps is, as far as I’m aware, not possible).  If you connect to the Internet via the Python script then nothing happens if it cannot connect to a network, unlike in Flash when it displays an access point dialog box.  I’ve written the following Python script to display an access point box:

import btsocket
btsocket.set_default_access_point(btsocket.access_point(btsocket.select_access_point()))

This works when I run it through the Python script shell however when I use SWF2Go to integrate the Python with my flash lite SWF no dialogue box displays.  Do you have any ideas why this might be?

Thanks for your reply, I’ve tried adding those permissions (and afterwards all the permissions that offline signing will allow!) however the access point dialogue still doesn’t pop up when it tries to connect to a network or when I use the select_access_point Python call.

Do you know if the SWF file running in the foreground stops Python script bringing up a dialogue box?
