Hmm, i did liked that animation, but it was waaay o heavy both on the cpu and the swf file...

I'll try to find a solution, but make no promisses... In the meanwhile you could me get that sound file... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gersonian:
I heart this application. I cant decide if its worth keeping plamp just for the sake of having both, but this is much more fun for showing off!!! Thanks for a fun app.

@ twolf : First very thanks for a software lively. But a small problem : If the software to run background is lost 532k ram. If not for running background is not set the default style lighting is his favorite when start app:( . Can you add options for default lighting?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thank, to be honest I didnt knew plamp... :D

I am sorry, I have no idea what you just said... :/

Is it related to the settings area?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
any chance to have your app in wvga resolution too? it's great, but on HD it has two bright white stripes on top and bottom of page... Not the same effect as a whole black background
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Unfortunately I cant do anything about that, the tool I have to create the EXE files (oh Dana...) only creates Qvga/VGA resolutions... :(

If someone out there can create a SWF>EXE tool with auto-maximize to any screen size, I'd be very appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
thanx anyway, twolf: it's great all the same
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Winkyboy:
I've resized this for WVGA devices, but I have no idea how to convert it to a Windows Mobile EXE... is there some 3rd-party application for doing this?

Note, if twolf makes further revisions to his version, they wouldn't appear in a WVGA version unless the whole process that I did was repeated. It takes about an hour or so of fidgety messing around.

Source Code: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/316550/FlashLight_WVGA/FlashLight_WGVA.fla

P.S. Thanks, twolf, for supplying the original source code!~
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Hmmmm... but you didnt need to resize it, the swf would automaticly resize itself, and since its all (almost) vectorial there would be no loss of quality...

Alternatively, you could just use this code on the first frame:

fscommand("fullscreen", true);
fscommand("allowscale", false);

But the program EXE already did that by default.

The problem is really the EXE, that doesnt resize to other resolutions than qvga or vga... :(

We need a EXE tool that autoextracts a swf file and shows it on fullscreen, like the one I already have, buta new one that respects the screen size.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Winkyboy:
Ah, bust. I did not know that. Oh, well. Nice Flashlight, anyway!

I am still curious as to how to get it to the Windows-Mobile EXE.

Maybe I or someone could hunt down another tool that resizes it properly.

Thanks again-

Hi TWolf really nice app, but dont turn the backlight to max; I view my registry and have 4 levels, when I try to change in flashlight settings 10 to 4 nothing happens.

How can I fix that?

great!! my nephews love this!!

thanks much for ur time~*
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
I did the settings area exacly for these problems, but its still registry-dependent...

Youll have to find out whats the regkey that turns your lights to the max and what value its supose to have...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_absinthe:
Thank you for this latest release!

Pity that wvga resolution is not supported... it's great, but on Touch HD (800x480) it has two bright white stripes on top and bottom of page... Not quite the same effect as a whole black background.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryomahino:
Yes I know that, I know that the registry in my phone is Brightness an his value is 4 to the max backlight, but when I try to change the value in flashlight settings nothing happen; I change the value to 4 and close the settings, but when I open settings again the value is still in 10.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
:( Hope someone makes a swf>EXE tool to fix this...

Sorry, the settings area is all I could do, its really OS version-dependent and since I dont have your device I cant discover that for you...

Everything works fine except when I can't find way to close this application. When I switched to the "close button", there is only a big "close button" picture display, the application stays there.

You need flash 7 or the final version of flash lite 3, not the buggy first release of flash lite 3 or flash lite 2.1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatarasi:
First of all, thank you for sharing this very useful application.

I have an HTC Fuze, with Flashplayer 7 installed, and, for some reason, when I open FlashLIGHT, it doesn't go to the max luminosity. I tried with and without Auto Adjust Backlight.

I attach here the registry keys I noticed you need in order to make a "diagnostic":

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts

(I attached them as .txt, it didn't let me upload as .reg)

Although FlashLIGHT is useful as it works right now, I would love it even more if it would go automatically to the full light.

thank you very much for your consideration
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
I had problems with "different" settings before, that why I added that to the settings, but it had little to none effect...sorry.

Use the Resco explorer option "send to START MENU as shortcut" or use SHORTCUT CREATOR here from the forum.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] asterix00:
I got that now, thanks. However it doesn't go to max luminosity when I enter the app.

I've a HTC touch diamond, with flashplayer 7 and I always have auto adjust backlight disabled. I changed as the pictures says to brightness 10 in settings, but nothing seems to happen. The only thing it does is messing up my phone settings luminosity.

I want the app to automatically go to the full light as I enter the i
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Sorry, but from what I've gathered, even with that special regkey manual tweak no one, that doesnt "see the light" in full by default, has been able to fix this... its a strange registry bug or different form, that simply wont accept my regkey changes... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpl69:
I'm sorry twolf, is it possible to make it wvga compatible ? It appears in the middle and cut off, we need 800 pixels height.

Unfortunatly the tool I use to make the EXE files only allows qvga and vga screen sizes... If you know another SWF>EXE tool that fixes this, let me know. :(

I have a idea for the candle, match and lighter ones... could it be possible to use the microphone to simulate blowing them of? And for the lightsaber... could it be possible to use the camera to simulate movements? I know it could be used with a Gsensor but my device dont has one :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
They are good ideas. :)

Unfortunelly Flash 7 doesnt have any way of using the camera, as for the mic and g-sensor, if anyone has any way of reading a regkey value (or a tool like message2reg to save the change on things, it would be possible. :)

Other Screen Resoutions

Hi Twolf & everyone!

First of all thanks for this fun app! I have been enjoying it for a while now but as my device is Omnia (QWVGA 240x400) I have been suffering from the white bars on the screen which kinda spoils the effect. I have read your posts re: a swf2exe app, downloaded your source files and went about trying to create a version for fullscreen. I found an app called Zinc which converts a swf to cab, and seems to handle more screen resolutions.

Trial version here:- http://www.swftools.com/tools-details.php?tool=1117367356

I have succeeded in making 2 different versions:-

1. "Flashlight V7 with menus" has the taskbar showing so you can exit the app as the big X doesn't work.

2. "Flashlight V7 fullscreen" is fullscreen but you will need a taskmanager that starts from a hardware key to exit.

There are still some annoying bugs, The bugs are:-

1. Only works when installed to device memory, installing to any other location results in "Installation Failed"

2. Error message during install, warning that another cab may be necessary for the app to work. Ignore this, it works!

3. Although Zinc has an otion for choosing an icon for the app, I could not get it to accept any flashlight icon I threw at it, so the default Zinc icon will have to do.

4. Zinc splash screen when you start Flashlight, I think this is probably due to trial software.

5. For some reason when you "double-tap the screen, it rotates ???

These points aside I am quite pleased with the outcome! ONLY TESTED ON OMNIA so I can't guarantee it will work for all resolutions (but I would be interested to find out). Here are the files:-
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Nice, thanks, Ill thake a look at it. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akromatic:
awsome but would it be possible to add a multi colour flashing glowstick to it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
hmmm... isnt that basicly DISCO?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tevike:
Flashlight V7 fullscreen works on my Touch HD. To put it in fullscreen mode, I have to press the Home button, and then from the tasks to switch to Flashlight, and then it's fullscreen (800x480). Otherwise the title bar is visible.

The menu to choose a animation from sometimes does not want to appear at all. Ex. from the lighter animation I cannot switch to anything else. I have to close it, restart is and then choose something else.

But it works fullscreen mode! it's great, no bars anymore.

thank you both!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Got a problem here. My Flashlight does not turn to full brightness when started. On HTC Touch 3G (Jade).

I found the correct registry key: LightDetectOn

This has to be set to 0 to disable auto brightness adjustment.

But when I enter the key and the value in the flashlight settings the '0' value does not get stored and nothing happens. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
It should get stored, have you tried to change the regky manually to make sure that one is the one?

Is it just that regkey, or does it need to be used in addition with others?

:/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Yes. Setting LightDetectOn = 0 disables the auto light adjustment. And since the manual light setting is set to maximum the screen will be be set to max brightness. Works without problem in the registry editor.

The weird thing is that FLASHLIGHT itself does not store the RKvalue. When I enter '0' in the settings dialog, close it (OK), and open it again the RKvalue will be empty again. But FLASHLIGHT remembers the RKname correctly.

I checked the registry in ...\Software\FlashLIGHT. The values are:

REGNAME = lightdetecton

WORD = undefined
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Are you sure the path of your regkey is the same as the other?

I some roms, flash for some reason cant save to the registry, but if it can save the regkey name, it should be safe there...

The undefined is definitely stange, can you try adding "0" with some " between it?

:/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
What do you mean ?

I can manually change REGNAME to whatever I want and it will show up in the flashlight settings (RKname).

But changing WORD to whatever (0, "0", abcd, ...) does not have any effect. RKvalue in the settings is always empty.

So it looks like FLASHLIGHT cannot read/write ...\Software\FlashLIGHT\WORD. Or there is something wrong inside the app.

By the way, is WORD supposed to be a _string_ registry key ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
I was asking of your specific regkey is in:

hkey_current_user/ControlPanel/Backlight/

dword is a number

string is text
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Yes, it is.

Does FlashLight only store the RKvalue (in ..\Software\FlashLIGHT) correctly if it can access the key entered in RKName?

Because the first issue is that FlashLight does not save the RKValue in its own settings. It will be always empty again.

Well, maybe I can get access to the Flash Editor soon. So I could try and check it on my own.

Thanks for your support by the way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Shame, shame, shame...

I found the error... :(

The ActionScript has written WORD and should have been DWORD....Theres a frikking D missing and I nor anyone else every noticed... X(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Yay :) So does this mean there will be a fixed version ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Not sure yet... maybe this IF isnt working properly:

if (isNaN(valores) == true) {
WordV1 == "SZ";
} else {
WordV1 == "DWORD";
}

If instead of 0 (zero), you write down 1 or 2, doest that get saved?

:/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
No. Nothing gets saved...0, 1, 2, a, b, c, bla...

Maybe you can send me copy of the complete actionscript code ? I could have a look without installing the Flash editor.

We could also use the private messages to not rape this thread :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
It wont work that way, the AS is in several places on the timeline...hehehe

:)

Also, after changing youll need to compile it inside Byth App Builder, its the only way flash can access the regkey.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Hey, I think I found the error in:

on (press) {
if (isNaN(valores) == true) {
WordV1 == "SZ";
} else {
WordV1 == "DWORD";
}
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"Software\\\\FlashLIGHT\", \"MAX\", \""+WordV1+"\", "+valores+"");
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"Software\\\\FlashLIGHT\", \"REGNAME\", \"SZ\", "+regname+"");
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"Software\\\\FlashLIGHT\", \"WORD\", \"SZ\", "+WordV1+"");
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

I think it should be

WordV1 = "SZ";

and

WordV1 = "WORD";

Only one "=".

But I'm not sure if it is WORD or DWORD.

---------------------------------

There is another issue I found:

FlashLight is messing up my brightness (actually: my suspend timeout settings) settings. It does not restore the correct settings when exiting FlashLight here:

fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"System\\\\CurrentControlSet\\\\Control\\\\Power\\\\Timeouts\", \"BattSuspendTimeout\", \"DWORD\", "+_root.VARIAVEL_BattSuspendTimeout );
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"System\\\\CurrentControlSet\\\\Control\\\\Power\\\\Timeouts\", \"ACSuspendTimeout\", \"DWORD\", "+_root.VARIAVEL_ACSuspendTimeout );
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \"BatteryTimeout\", \"DWORD\", "+_root.VARIAVEL_BatteryTimeout );
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \"ACTimeout\", \"DWORD\", "+_root.VARIAVEL_ACTimeout );
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \"ACBrightness\", \"DWORD\", "+_root.VARIAVEL_ACBrightness );
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \"Brightness\", \"DWORD\", "+_root.VARIAVEL_Brightness );

Do the root.VARIAVEL_ variables store the correct values ?

Anyway, can you generate a fixed version so I can check it ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thats it indeed and no one else noticed in almost a year...lol

I'll generate a new fix on the weekend, thanks.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Lost this app and now I find it and then it has issues. Just my luck.

Have to agree it is funny that as many of use that used it never found the errors till now. LOL

Still gonna use it. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Well... in my defense, the settings are only needed if your ppc has different brightness values, and that should be about 10% out there...

Also, == should give a error in flash outside () , and saddly it doesnt.

:/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
What about if we use Lumos?

Does that effect anything?

Am going to put it on my device in a few.

I did the fix, could someone test it before I release it on the main post?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
FlashLight working well for me, but i cannot close the application. When tapping on the cross in the drop down menu a big cross appears but when tapping on it nothing happens and only soft reset or shut down can free the device again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
You need flash 7, not lite.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
It helps... its working perfectly on many ppc's, but again, i never could test that special regkey because i dont have it.

This is the beginning, where it reads the regkeys:

fscommand("ReadRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"Software\\\\FlashLIGHT\", \"MAX\", _root.maxy" );
fscommand("ReadRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"Software\\\\FlashLIGHT\", \"WORD\", _root.WordV" );
fscommand("ReadRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\", \"Software\\\\FlashLIGHT\", \"REGNAME\", _root.regname" );

Later on it applies those regkeys:

if (_root.maxy == undefined) {
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \"Brightness\", \"DWORD\", 10");
} else {
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \""+_root.regname+"\", \""+_root.WordV+"\", "+_root.maxy+"");
}

I now realize that it lacks the ability to read the default regkeys BEFORE overwritting them and save them into a new variable so it can, on exit, restore it.

Now dont get me wrong, but as you understand this is not something I can test easily myself. If you take a look at my signature link, youll understand my lack of desire to keep updating old applications, and thats one of the reasons I always give away the source code.

;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Maybe you can tell me how to compile it so that it runs on the PPC. This way I could fix it on my own.
