separate Output window:

Whenever an unknown tag is encountered, error messages are displayed so the author can modify
the content appropriately. Not all SWF content that is not Flash Lite compatible is flagged as
being in error, such as invalid ActionScript and key input.
Since different handsets may have different size limitations, the Flash MX Professional 2004 test
movie player always informs the author about the size of the SWF movie each time it runs.
For a detailed explanation of all messages related to Flash Lite, see the appendix. This appendix
lists all of the error messages that you might see when creating Flash Lite compatible content in
