30 Creating a Flash Lite Application (Flash Professional Only)
The menu consists of two standard Flash buttons that define up, over, and
down states. The user gives focus to one of the buttons by pressing the Up
or Down Arrow keys on their device. When a button has focus it displays
its over state. The button that has focus generates a button
press event
when the user presses the Select key on the device. This default tab
navigation provides an easy way to create a simple user interface for a Flash
Lite application. For more information about using tab navigation, see
“Using tab navigation in Flash Lite” in Developing Flash Lite Applications.
