Tools for optimizing web content for mobile delivery

The following articles and code samples will help you create Flash content that is well-suited for a mobile device.

Optimize performance for mobile devices

Mobile devices are less powerful than desktop computers, so some Flash content may run sluggishly on those devices, and some content may use too much memory. This comprehensive reference describes a number of strategies for improving your application's performance.

Optimize performance on video, graphics hardware

Many mobile devices include special-purpose hardware to decode video and render graphics on the screen. This section of a longer article on Flash Player 10.1 hardware acceleration for video and graphics describes techniques for tuning your content so that it takes advantage of the underlying hardware.

Author mobile content for multiple screen sizes

As the Flash Platform continues to proliferate and reach more devices, developers need to adopt techniques for authoring with multiple screen sizes and resolutions in mind.

Design tips for creating mobile RIAs

When designing a mobile application, you should consider the unique characteristics of mobile devices. Differences in screen size and input types will affect the way that the application is designed. This article explores some of those differences, and it offers tips for creating a compelling experience.

Detect Flash Player with SWFObject

On desktop computers, the Flash runtime is practically ubiquitous. Many HTML pages simply include <object> and <embed> tags, based on the assumption that Flash will always be present. On mobile devices, though, you may want to check whether the Flash runtime is installed. This article describes a JavaScript library, called SWFObject, which performs that check.
