I know what im gonna say now is not possible but i really need to know......Is it possible to flash .swf files or menu.ml files or media skin to Memory stick rather then the Phone memory?? I have lot of flash menu but there's no space left in my w850i phone memory .........What should i do now? Is there any possible way i can use all menu and themes without wasting my fone memory????

Hmmm.... Even I would like to have such a patch, but there is none available at this time... hope someone will make sometime in the future......

And by the way, i dont remember where, I read in some forum about cerating a shortcut for the flash files in the phone while actually placing the source in the memory card... not sure how that works but maybe someone can start off from here and find a great solution!!!!!

Yaa ur right it's very important for whom who had a lot of flash menu and stuff for flashing but dont have enough space to put it...............So is there anyone out there who can solve this problem???

if you can acced to FS, you can create a shorcut
for example
you have a file called flashmenu.swf, saved into card:/flashmenu/
you need to open text editor and type
c a r d / f l a s h m e n u /
*with an hex editor you need to change "spaces"(20 in hex code) to 00
and save as
flashmenu.swf.@
then upload to
tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash
and voila!

*this isn't very good, since you need to create one @ files for each swf theme
*you can't create shortcuts to folders

Huh? that's really hard for me......gotta find a really easy tutorial and i guess there's no tutorial for that problem......any more great ideas guys??

Hi.. can you be a bit more elaborate...
For ex: I have a abc.swf
i store it in card:/flashmenu/abc.swf

what exactly is the card: ?? my mobyexplorer shows my card as e:
so should it be e:/flashmenu in the text file??
after saving the text file as abc.swf.@ should i open in hex editor?? and then do what??

what exactly is the card: ?? my mobyexplorer shows my card as e:
card is the folder assigned in FS(flash system) to memory stick, no matter what says mobyexplorer
so should it be e:/flashmenu in the text file??
no, must be
c a r d / f l a s h m e n u / a b c . s w f
*you need to add three spaces at the end (I forgot that in previously post) sorry
*you need to put those spaces between each caracter
*it's card/ , no card:/
*abc.swf it's only an example, you can use whatever
after saving the text file as abc.swf.@ should i open in hex editor?? and then do what??
when you open hexeditor, you need to change all values 20, to 00
for example

in hexadecimal is
==
63 20 61 20 72 20 64 20 2f 20 66 20 6c 20 61 20 73 20 68 20 6d 20 65 20 6e 20 75 20 2f 20 61 20 62 20 63 20 2e 20 73 20 77 20 66 20 20 20
==
you need to change each 20 to 00
result:
==
63 00 61 00 72 00 64 00 2f 00 66 00 6c 00 61 00 73 00 68 00 6d 00 65 00 6e 00 75 00 2f 00 61 00 62 00 63 00 2e 00 73 00 77 00 66 00 00 00

Hey machine... Thanks for your detailed post.. I got everything clearly!!! Thanks.. I'll try them out today or tomorrow when I have the time

By the way, I prefer to use abc.swf as the file name. So this allows me to create only one shortcut in the phone FS. And in all my theme files, i'll put a constant pointer to abc.swf. so these two can remain constant.

Now in the memory card, i'll rename whatever flash theme i want to use to abc.swf using mobyexplorer....

so i can add all flash menus to my card, and mix n match with the themes all without connecting to PC and editing each theme file!!! just rename the menu on the mem card and voila!! I have a changed flash menu!!

EDIT: Just modify it a bit and post as tutorial man.... it'll be really great. Ask a mod to make it sticky.... will be really useful for everyone!!!

If it works for the theme files, it might work for the walkman skin too.... just create a shortcut for all the files and all we have to do is to change the directory name in memory card to what we have set in the shortcut.... will be great for trying out the skins before moving onto the phone!!

Now while both of u guys Expressed and understand properly.....it's time to teach me hahaha and u have to do it a real easy way with me.....and it's also very important topic tho.....so it'll be better when it easier

@ishan sardan
what are your doubts? didn't you understood with my previous post?

Hmmm... I was trying it for 1 full day but could not get it to work!!!

1. I created the same hex file abc.swf.@-> c a r d / f l a s h m e n u / a b c . s w f<2 spaces> and got the same hex values as you indicated and replaced all 20's with 00's..... Put it inside the flash folder inside the phone.

2. Created a folder "flashmenu" in the root of the card and took a flash theme->renamed it to abc.swf and put it inside the "flashmenu" folder.

3. Made a theme file point to abc.swf and set the theme. But when i pressed the menu nothing happened.... The phone stayed still in the standby as if no key was pressed. I also tried pointing the theme to the abc.swf.@ inside my theme file but still the same result.

Any idea as to where am I going worng??

=( I made a mistake
you have wrote this:
c a r d / f l a s h m e n u / a b c . s w f<2 spaces>
but is
c a r d / f l a s h m e n u / a b c . s w f<3 spaces>

Ummm....nah!! im just asking for a alternative way that's all......anyway what tools i need to do it in ur given way??

Hi, I have one more doubt... should it be

c a r d / f l a s h m e n u / a b c . s w f<3 spaces> or

/ c a r d / f l a s h m e n u / a b c . s w f<3 spaces> -> with a "/" at the begenning?? I am asking this because i saw a se_shortcut.exe tool which uses a "/" at the begenning and 3 00's at the end. The tutorial was to place the files in /usb/other which is a user accessible location in phone memory.

So I am confused as to add a "/" at the begenning or not!

I finally got it to work..... But only partially

I was able to display the flash menu and I was also able to move left/right to all the items but strangely i cannot select anything. if i press the select key nothing happens. I am only able to navigate left/right and not select anything which makes my flash theme useless

However if I put the same .swf inside the phone FS everything works superb!!!!

So I think we will not be able to use this shortcut method for flash menus too sad...


Is there any other way around to get this thing to work??

Maybe it's not possible or as i say it's too hard

Hmm... it's actually quite easy to do... but the problem is I can get the flash menu to display but it does not do anything.... just displays..


Anyone out there who is using flash menus using shortcut files in the phone FS please help.....

Yay we need a way that really works and tested!!

There's a easier method now.... Patch it and you can use flash menu from the memory card. It's working great. I still wonder why the earlier method did not work fully
