Sending SWFs as a Bluetooth message with a Mac

If your device doesn't support a direct hard drive-style file browser, then you'll need to transfer files through the messaging Inbox as Bluetooth messages. This process isn't as elegant, but as long as you follow these steps, it is a viable method.

  1. Follow the steps above to make a Bluetooth connection to your Nokia device. See step #8 in the section above to set your device as an authorized device. This will streamline sending files to your device, because you won't have to authorize each transfer on the device.
  2. Choose Send File… instead of Browse Device… from the Mac's Bluetooth icon menu bar.
  3. Navigate to the Flash Lite SWF test file you created on your Mac.
  4. Select your device by name in the Bluetooth devices list.
  5. You'll receive a new message alert on the device, so click Show on the Nokia.
  6. The Flash Lite SWF will open. However, it has opened within the messaging Inbox and the file isn't stored on the memory card, yet. We'll use the save feature in Flash Lite to move the SWF to correct location, and open it from there.

  7. On the device, choose Options > Save … (see Figure 11).

    The Options menu allows you save a Flash Lite SWF to another location on your device.

  8. Select the option to Save to: > Memory card (see Figure 12).

    Saving Flash Lite SWF files to the Memory card is a best practice, as it maximizes memory use and keeps your files out of the Inbox

  9. Click Save…, which stores the SWF in E:/Others/ on the device's memory card (see Figure 13).

    .The Flash Lite directory (E:/Others) can be organized as you collect and make other projects

  11. Delete the Bluetooth SWF message out of the Inbox to keep the C: drive memory clear.
  12. See the section "Viewing Flash Lite SWFs on your Nokia S60 device" to open the Flash Lite file from the device's memory card.
