Some Flash Lite developers have been wishing Adobe to let developers to embed Flash Lite player with their products (there is even petition).

Its not going to happen, for various reasons, one you can see below, if you stand some nerd language:

In S60 phone models embedding (embed SIS into SIS install file) can (would) be used to provide common frameworks or game engines within applications.

However, embedding SIS does not work much at all in S60 3rd edition phones, because 3rd platform suffers severe bug, which ruins the method completely:

If you embed SIS into your application (for instance FL player) you should define dependency to embedded SIS into applications using it, to avoid uninstallation of embedded product, when some of the applications is uninstalled.

This just does not work in S60 3rd edition.

Example: If user installs application A which come with embedded file x. Then user installs app B using embedded x. When user uninstalls A, also embedded file will be removed!

Actually it is not possible to provide other file types either, to be used commonly for applications, due problematic S60 uninstallation behaviour.

So you won’t see many common players, frameworks, engines around for S60 platform, which you could integrate within your product, except having customized solution instead.
