Flash Lite authoring features in Flash Professional 8 (Flash Professional only)

This section discusses the features in Flash Professional 8 that are designed specifically for Flash Lite developers. The following features are available only when your document's Version setting on the Flash tab of the Publish Setting dialog box is set to target the Flash Lite player. For information on how to specify your document's SWF file version, see Setting publish options for the Flash SWF file format in Using Flash.

The Flash Lite emulator and test window let you test your content as it will run and appear on an actual device. A settings pane in the Flash Lite test window lets you select a different test device, view information about your application, and set emulator debug output options.

For more information about using the Flash Lite emulator and test window, see Using the Flash Lite emulator (Flash Professional only) in Developing Flash Lite 2.x Applications.

The Device Settings dialog box lets you select the test devices and Flash Lite content type that you want to test against in the Flash Lite emulator. Different devices support different media types (for example, different types of device sound formats) as well as different Flash Lite content types, such as stand-alone player, screensaver, or browser. When you preview your application in the Flash Lite test window, the emulator mimics the features available on the selected test device running as the selected content type.

For more information about Flash Lite content types, see About Flash Lite content types. For more information about using the Device Settings dialog box, see Selecting test devices and Flash Lite content type (Flash Professional only) in Developing Flash Lite 2.x Applications.

The Property inspector contains a section that provides information about your current device settings as well as a button that lets you open the Device Settings dialog box. This button is active only when your document's Version setting on the Flash tab of the Publish Setting dialog box is set to target a Flash Lite player version.
