One of the issue with Flash Lite development with Nokia S40 devices is that for applications that connect to a remote server, the full screen mode would not work correctly. It was a huge problem since an application, as soon as made a network request, would go off full screen.
Browsing the Forum Nokia discussion forums I found out that Mark as mentioned a solution to this problem.
- fscommand2(”FullScreen”, true); in frame 1
- Open a connection to your web server
- In the onLoad function call fscommand2(”FullScreen”, true);
I tested on the S40 6th Edition SDK with Flash Lite 3.0 and it seems to work fine. I will try to test on other SDKs.
Can someone test it on real S40 devices?
Note: maybe Device Central should simulate this behavior?

I fougth with this one for some months now.
Last week, I found a solution :
I made a special ‘ping’ page on my website
I so make a call to this ping page on first frame and wait for result to enabled full screen.
It works on real S40 (at least my 5310, even with the buggy firmware) and could be kept for S60 without breaking the user experience.
this solution seems similar to the one you described.
I first tried to (re) force the fullscreen after any web calls but
1/ UX was very bad (no full screen on logo and title screen)
2/ White screen of Death on my buggy 5310

Ciao William,
so the solution described in my post works fine for you?
I tested on the SDKs and works ok.
Could you please test it on real phones and tell us the result?
Alessandro
Yeah it works
Tested it yesterday night on my 5310
Inportant info, you need to make the load on the SAME frame (whatever it is) than your first fscommand fullscreen
If you call fscommand2(”FullScreen”, true); on frame 1 and make your RPC on frame 2, it won’t work
