Flash Lite 2.0 new features

The previous versions of Flash Lite (Flash Lite 1.0 and Flash Lite 1.1) are based on Flash
Player 4. Flash Lite 2.0 is based on Flash Player 7 and supports most of the features available
in that version of Flash Player—including XML processing and ActionScript 2.0. Flash Lite
2.0 also provides several features not available in Flash Player 7 that are designed for mobile
applications. The rest of this section describes the new features in Flash Lite 2.0.
Flash Lite 2.0 ActionScript
Flash Lite 2.0 ActionScript is the scripting language used in Flash Lite 2.0 applications. It
shares some, but not all, of the ActionScript used in Flash Player 7. Flash Lite 2.0 also
includes several ActionScript additions and extensions that let you, for example, get
information about the device, make phone calls, or control the backlight duration.
