Video class
Flash Lite 2.0 lets you work with device-specific video formats, and supports the following
types of video playback:
■
Video embedded in a SWF file
■
Video available as a separate file on the device
■
Video streamed over the network (in real time)
Flash Lite 2.0 supports device video. Device video is stored in the published SWF file in the
device’s native video format. To play the device video, Flash Lite passes the video data to the
device, which then decodes and plays the video.
