Flash Lite error and warning messages 
(Flash Professional Only)

There are two types of error messages that the Flash Lite emulator generates while you test 
your content. One type of message appears only in the emulator; the other occurs in the 
emulator and on an actual device.

The first type of error message provides useful debugging information about your SWF file. 
For example, if your SWF contains ActionScript that isn’t supported by Flash Lite (or by the 
version of Flash Lite available on the currently selected test device, the emulator generates a 
warning message in the Output panel alerting you, as the following image shows:

For a full list of debugging messages and their descriptions, see

The other type of error message that can occur in the emulator also occurs on an actual 
device. These types of errors are displayed in an error dialog box that the user must close for 
the application to continue. The following image shows an example error dialog box as it 
appears in the emulator:

On a device, the error dialog box that appears contains the string “Problem with content” 
followed by an error number. In the emulator, the error dialog box also contains a short error 
string. The emulator also displays a longer description of the error in the Output panel.
