Flash Lite Overview
Each Flash Lite content type, paired with a specific device, defines a 
specific set of Flash Lite features that are available to your application. For 
example, a Flash application that's running as a screen saver is not typically 
allowed to make network connections or download data.
The Flash Lite testing features in Flash let you test against multiple devices 
and different Flash Lite content types. This lets you determine if your 
application uses features that aren't available for the type of content that 
you are developing. For more information about selecting target devices 
and content types, see Chapter 5, “Testing Flash Lite Content” i
Developing Flash Lite 1.x Applications
Workflow for authoring Flash 
Lite applications
The process for creating Flash Lite content is an iterative one that involves 
the following steps:
Identify your target device(s) and Flash Lite content type
 Different 
devices have different screen sizes, support different audio formats, and 
have different screen color depths, among other factors. These factors may 
influence your application’s design or implementation. 
In addition, different devices support different Flash Lite content types, 
such as screen savers, stand-alone applications, or animated ring tones. The 
content type for which you are developing also determines the features that 
are available to your application. For more information about Flash Lite 
content types, see 
.
Create and test your application in Flash
  Adobe Flash CS3 
Professionalincludes an emulator available on Adobe Device Central CS3, 
which lets you test your application without having to transfer it to a 
device. You use the emulator to refine your application design and fix any 
problems before you test it on a mobile device. 
Test the application on your target device or devices
 This 
step 
is 
important because the emulator doesn’t emulate all aspects of the target 
device. For instance, a color gradient that appears smooth in the emulator 
may appear banded when viewed on the actual device. After testing your 
application on a device, you may find that you need to refine the 
application’s design in the Flash authoring tool.
