Flash Lite content types

As discussed in About Flash Lite content types in Getting Started with Flash Lite 1.x, Flash Lite is installed on a variety of devices. Each Flash Lite installation supports one or more application modes, or content types. For example, some devices use Flash Lite to enable screen savers or animated ring tones that are based on Flash.
