Flowt.er v0.21
--------------
Made by TWolf
Compatibility: N-Gage only
Requires: Macromedia Flash Lite
Thanks to: www.MobileFreaks.net
-------------------------------
Sorry for some bad english in this manual.
This is still as work-in-progress, the end item will be nothing conclusive because I believe that flash will not be "THE" tool in the current cellphones. The problem is the CPU, too slow and spends exaggerated ammounts of battery with flash. Also flash lite cannot "record" options in any file.
This was optimized for NGage, i wont make other series 60 versions for the reason I explained above.
Anyway, here goes:

the menu was created thinking of the diagonal keys of the NG, initially was a rotating wheel but it was very slow and had little usage, so it was slow to turn the wheel completely (it was too long the wait to arrive to the last icon)
At the top appears the name of the area where you are and in the center the icon of the folder, by entering a folder the icon of that folder goes to the center.
The first icon of the menu is the info screen, with only the hours, battery and network signal.
On the bottom appears the name of icon selected at the moment.
key 5 is for entering a folder or to open a program.
key 7 is for coming back to the initial menu.
The key * changes the colors of the backgroung (yey)
keys 1-2-3-4-6-8-9-0 go to the "make call" screen.
key ENTER leaves the flash. (only present on the info screen)
There are special screens to make calls and to write messages.
The key # jumps direcly to the "write message" screen.
Inside the screen "write message":
key 5 is for selecting a letter.
The last button of the "virtual keyboard" selects the symbols, the same to come back on the letters.
key 7 is for writing a space.
The key # sends the message.
the right softkey erases the text.
The left softkey comes back to the menu.
Inside the screen "make calls":
keys 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0 selects a number that appears in the top.
The key # makes the call.
the right softkey erases the numbers.
The left softkey comes back to the menu.

There is a DATA.txt file that contains some programmable features for an easy modification of the menu.
Icons can be "packs" that are loaded and created easily, for this to happend there is a swf apart that is called by the .txt file.To change the order of the icon you must modify the swf of them (i included the .FLA) and the respective names and links in the .txt file.
"packs" of icons are nothing but swf's with 48x48 pixels with a "stop" command in the first frame and the 40 icons for the correct order of the menu, they have to be exported in flash 4 or flash lite to work (again, see the FLA i included).
The sinais.swf is outside the main .swf for no reason, it was inside but it was easier to work with it outside because of the flash mx 2004 code.
The names of the respective programs and links are also changed easily in this .txt, notice that links of folders are not changed.
There is a Screensaver with colorfull dots that fill the screen (not full filled because of memory issues), the startup time can be changed in the .txt file.
I included 2 packs of icons to test.
For the moment that's all.
