About components in Flash Lite 2.0
The components that install with Flash 8 and Flash Professional 8 (for example, DataGrid
and Accordion) were designed for use in Flash desktop applications. The memory
requirements and processing power that they require typically prohibit their use in Flash Lite
2.0 applications. Macromedia recommends that you don’t use the standard user interface
components in your Flash Lite applications.
