New: Upload Sony Ericsson Flash Themes!

[Mark]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that our public downloads gallery now supports Sony Ericsson flash themes.

You can now upload flash enabled themes to the following categories:

• Sony Ericsson K630 / V640
• Sony Ericsson W980 / C702 / C902
• Sony Ericsson Z750 / K850 / W910 / K660 / W760 / W890 / Z770

In order to upload such themes, you must provide a screenshot of the "Standby" flash file (.swf) contained within the theme. This screenshot must correspond to the dimensions of your theme and must only contain 1 full frame of the flash content. The screenshot will then be integrated into the automated preview process, for use as a thumbnail.

Once in the validation queue, we will match the screenshot up to the actual flash content. Therefore, please do not upload mismatching, bad quality or unrelated screenshots.

Although we realise this method may not suit everybody, unfortunately we haven't yet been able to fully automate the preview process in the same way we do with standard themes. This is because the flash format cannot be interpreted in the same way images can.

Please note: The flash content used on the standby screen, within the theme, will be made available on the download page, allowing users to see the actual swf file. This particular feature will be implemented in the next few days.

As always, if anyone experiences any problems or wishes to offer some feedback, feel free to respond below.
