Hello World Flash Lite
application
(Flash Professional only)
In this section, you create a simple Flash Lite application and test it in the
Flash Lite emulator. The purpose of this tutorial is to acquaint you with
the mobile authoring and testing features in Flash Professional 8 as well as
the general workflow for creating Flash Lite content. For a more complete
sample application, see Chapter 2, “Tutorial: Creating a Flash Lite
Application (Flash Professional Only),” on page 19.
For the purposes of this tutorial, assume that you’re developing content for
the Flash Lite 2.0 stand-alone player. (As of this writing, no commercially
available devices support Flash Lite 2.0 so, for this tutorial, you’ll target a
generic device.)
First, decide which devices and Flash Lite content type you are targeting.
To begin development, configure your Flash document’s publish,
document, and device settings for the target device and content type.
