Flash Lite 2

Getting Started with Flash Lite 2.x > Tutorial: Creating a Flash Lite Application (Flash Professional Only) > Create the application (Flash Professional only) > Select your test devices and content type (Flash Professional Only)

Select your test devices and content type (Flash Professional Only)

In this section, you select the test devices and content type for the application. For this application, you'll target the stand-alone Flash Lite player. (As of this writing, no commercially available devices support Flash Lite 2.0 so for this tutorial you'll target a "generic" device.)

You use the Device Settings dialog box to select the devices and content type that you are targeting. When you test your application in the Flash Lite emulator, the emulator configures itself to match the configuration of the player on the target device as well as the content type.

1. Open the partially completed source file named cafe_tutorial_start.fla located in the Sample and Tutorials/Tutorial Assets/Flash Lite 2.0/cafe/ folder where you installed Flash Professional 8.

   For example, C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 8/Sample and Tutorials/Tutorial Assets/Flash Lite 2.0/cafe/.

2. Open the Property inspector (Window > Properties> Properties), if it's not already open.
3. In the Property inspector, click Device Settings to open the Device Settings dialog box.
4. Select Standalone Player from the Content Type pop-up menu.
5. In the list of available devices, double-click the Flash Lite 2.0 folder to expand it, double-click the Generic folder, and then double-click the Generic Phone device to add it to your list of test devices.
6. Click OK to close the Device Settings dialog box.
7. Save the file as cafe_tutorial.fla or another name.

Now that you've selected the test devices and content type, you're ready to create the application. In the next section, you'll create the menu for the application's home screen.
