About the Flash Lite 2.0 Update
for Flash Professional 8
The Flash Lite 2.0 Update for Flash Professional 8 lets developers create
and test their Flash Lite 2.0 applications in Macromedia Flash
Professional 8. The update consists of the following elements:
■ The Flash Lite 2.0 emulator, which lets you preview Flash Lite 2.0
applications in the Flash authoring tool. The emulator mimics the
features that are available in a Flash Lite application running on an
actual device and includes support for playing device video as well as
loading device-specific image formats (such as GIF and PNG).
■ The Flash Lite 2.0 publish profile, which you select when targeting the
Flash Lite player.
■ New device profiles, which define the features and capabilities of
devices that support Flash Lite 2.0.
■ Flash Lite 2.0 developer documentation; for more information, see
“Guide to instructional media” on page 6.
