Creating a Flash Lite sound file

Flash Lite 1.1 provides the ability to encapsulate device-specific sounds of multiple formats into a
single tagged data block. This provides content developers with the ability to create a single piece
of content that is compatible with multiple devices. As an example, a single Flash SFW file can
contain the same sound represented in both MIDI and MFi formats. This SWF file can be played
back both on a device that supports only MIDI and on a device that supports only MFi, with
each device playing back the specific sound format that it natively supports.
During content creation, content developers identify the sound files in the formats that they want
to bundle together. An external tool (Flash Lite Bundler.exe) is available to bundle the identified
sound files into one sound data block, to be played when triggered by an event. When the
appropriate event is triggered, Flash Lite 1.1 processes this bundled sound data block and plays
the sound data in the specific format supported by the device.
For a complete overview of the process, see the FlashLite1.1_Authoring_Guidelines.pdf file on
your Macromedia Flash application CD or on the Mobile and Devices Development Center.
